Making a change can be scary. I made a really big change this past week and
I was so scared that it will not turn out the way I would like it to, but if
you don’t take a risk you will not get the results. I hear over and over again all the one liners
about change “Big risk = big reward”, “if you do what you have always done, you
always get what you always got”. Change
is scary; I don’t ever remember hearing what people really thing about change, just
a cute reply about how they like change, but in reality change sucks, but it happens.
I moved to a new city, in a new state, this weekend. I am over six hours from my family, in a city
where I know few people, and I am scared out of my mind. I am not scared for my safety, but I took a
big risk leaving everything and everyone I know. For the first time I have to
stand on my own and make a name for myself and that is scary.
I know that I am smart, and I am funny ,and that I have a
good heart; and know that anyone would be lucky to have me work for their company,
or be their friend; but how to do I go about doing that? What it all comes down to is knowing that I am
awesome, and just sharing my gifts with the world. The other thing I need to remember is that if I
put the idea out there that I am going to have a bunch of friends and a
wonderful job, I will get a bunch of friends and a wonderful job.
Change is scary, but it can also be rewarding. I have been by myself in a new city for a
day, and I have been able to choose what I want to do, when I want to do it,
and how I want to do it. I walked to the
library this morning, a wonderful way to start my day in MARCH (sorry I’m a Minnesota
girl forever, always think there should be snow and mud all over in March). I cannot
tell you how amazing it is to know that I am going to spend all day at the
library – I never would have done this in my old town. I know that I want to do some research on
where I am living, and read and be around people, thus the library; I knew
people and things about my old town so I never needed to take an adventure at
the library.
You can make a change too.
Maybe you don’t want to move, maybe you just want to try to look for a
new job, or take a class outside your major, or just talk to that cute girl in
biology. You write you own story and you
can change the way the story is going if you don’t like it, or if you feel like
it is missing something. Change isn’t easy,
and sometimes it doesn’t go the way you would like it to- but you can do
it. You can make any change you want to
big or small, you can do it, and you can change your stars!
I loved my life in Minnesota, but I know I am going to love
my life here. Change doesn’t have to
come from something that is missing, or something that isn’t going well, change
can just be a new challenge. Change is whatever
you want it to be, and change is about you, not about what someone else wants
you to be. Let me know what you want to change- I am interested. Send me an email and I will help you start on
the path to make your change. You can do it!
You have it all & Confidence,
