[True Self]: The Beauty of Risk

Sometimes in life, the best accomplishments are the ones that you risked it all to achieve. You appreciate those victories more because even if you failed at your endeavor, you would still be satisfied in the fact that you gave your whole heart to something. As women, we are cautious with giving our whole hearts to anything lest we get hurt or fail to live up to the perceptions of others. However, giving your whole heart (arteries, ventricles and all) to all that you do is the only way to truly live life the way we were meant to. Don't shortchange yourself out of life because of past hurts or what others think of what you are doing. Trust me, the naysayers are living their lives. Don't let ANYONE stop you from living yours to the maximum. Today, I want you to do something that you have always wanted to do but were scared to. Ask for the promotion you deserve. Pursue that modeling career that you've always wanted to. Go and claim that degree. Get an edgy haircut. Paint your nails lime green. A positive risk is always worthwhile if it will lead to your happiness. A life without regret is beautiful. Truly.
