I recently had a very interesting conversation with a longtime friend. We reflected on our past and the struggles that we’ve overcome. As we reminisced one specific word came to my mind during our conversation; Fearless. For many years of my life fear was the biggest obstacle keeping me from my dreams. I use to view my life through a glass wall. All my dreams, all my goals and everything I ever wanted was there so close to me but completely blocked by a glass wall of fear.
Fear is our worst enemy. Fear keeps us hidden in the background. It viciously convinces us that we can never accomplish our dreams. Fear paralyzes us and leads us to live a meaningless life.
How many times have you let an opportunity slip away just because you were too afraid to go for it? I have. When I look at myself in the mirror I know longer recognize myself from the shy and terrified girl I use to be. Facing your fears is the only option you have if you want to lead a happy and successful life. I broke down the glass wall and moved forward towards my dreams. I had to learn to be fearless in everything; in my career, in all of my relationships and all of my decisions. Being fearless I’ve successfully triumphed over so many difficult situations I seriously never thought I would ever be capable of overcoming. At the end of every battle I became stronger and more courageous.
Now, it’s time for you to overcome your fears. Break that glass wall blocking you from your destiny. Face your fears head on. The choice is yours. Would you rather live a miserable life controlled by your fears or be courageous and fight for your dreams.
Live with absolutely no regrets. It’s better to make mistakes than to live your life wondering “What if?”. Don’t let anything stand in your way, it’s time to be fearless.
Be you, be lovely & be fearless,
Charlene Gonzalez
