Get Uncomfortable!?!?

Yes!!!  Daring to take the next step toward your heart dreams may seem uncomfortable...  But, you have it in you.  You are capable.  You can do it!!  Whatever it is that you have been feeling to do...whatever you have been hesitating to do, because you are just not sure you are good enough...you are!  You can do it

You may make a mistake.  That is OK!!  This is how you learn.  You take a step, and maybe you fall.  But, you took a step!  Your next step will be full of the wisdom you learned by falling the first time.

Just last week, I was trying something new...  Starting on an art journal...quite a task for someone who is not into art.  Well, I wanted to cover one of the pages with this cool printed tissue paper.  I put the mod podge on the journal paper, and set the tissue paper on top, but it wasn't quite straight.  I tried to lift it up and re-place it, but it made a BIG HUGE MESS out of the paper.  I tried to make it work...  It was not salvagable, and I ripped the page out of the journal.  That was the only way to fix it.

The next day, I came back to it...and, thanks to every mistake I made the first time, I did it PERFECTLY.  It is OK to make mistakes.  It is good to stretch ourselves and get uncomfortable.  You can do it.  Remember to learn from every fall, and celebrate that you tried.  Be gentle on yourself :).
