You have to want it more than you’re scared of it. And you also sometimes have to expand your circle and find people that are gonna love you and support you and cheer you on.” “It’s always gonna be that hard, and if you don’t keep pushing through and pushing through and pushing through you never get to the other side, you keep starting over and then it gets hard again, and then you quit… you have to push through.” “Everyone is impacted by fear in some way, but fear does not affect all of us in the same way.” “The worst that can happen right now is that you’ll fail & you’ll learn, and that’s okay.”   Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?
