Hey Love, bring on your sunny glow!…
There is a famous quote from Victor Hugo that I really like “There is nothing like a dream to create the future”. When I was younger, I believe that the dream would come find me until I realize that it was not so simple. Now when I think about these times, where my youth was so arrogant that it made me so delusional, It makes me smile…

I can only think how these limiting beliefs had a strong grip on me and how growth has a strange way to happen. I know better now, enough to know that I have to pursue what I want and not expect anything less.
The Mindset
Talk is cheap, and behavior doesn’t lie—even when you’re lying to yourself. The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves because they become excuses to feel good without putting in the hard work. If you don’t put in the effort, you can’t expect to enjoy the rewards. Your actions reflect your true intentions, beliefs, and character. Make sure your actions align with your vision, and that you’re actively working toward your goals. Fear often feeds these lies, convincing us to stay comfortable. But success comes from facing that fear, taking action, and moving beyond it.
Living In Fear
Still, in these days, I have noticed that people are hesitant to trust in their ambitions for many different reasons such as fear, limiting beliefs, lack of ambition, feeling unworthy or not ready. Some of us are not chasing our dreams while we are stuck in our own prison, terrified of our own shadow. The walls made to protect us are the same walls that barricade us from our own truth and self-worth, restrict us from freedom and growth. Let’s pause to consider this; We build the castle, we build the tower, we built the metal bars, we chose where to place them…. then we wonder how we are supposed to get out when there is a fire or an attack.
We lost sight that we were merely building a prison, the same one that we will constantly want to escape until we understand that we were wrong all along. At some point, we have to step toward breaking free from the constraints of our own making and begin to dismantle the walls of our self-imposed prisons and reclaim power over our lives.
One day, out of the blue, you discover that life actually happens outside of those expensive barricades, on your own path, with the full moon exposing your innocence.
For those among you who continue to be terrified of failing and hitting obstacles, imagine this to be the case: what if these experiences were a necessary part of the journey leading up to the summit? What if failing was part of the plan, regardless of how great you may be at what you are doing? To what extent does your comfort zone serve you? How about viewing obstacles and failure as integral parts of the journey toward success? How about embracing the idea that challenges are not only inevitable but also necessary for growth? That alone can shift your mindset from one of fear and avoidance to one of resilience and perseverance. That transformation can empower you to become unstoppable and soar to new heights!
Reflection
I want to believe that I can push myself and I have the motivation to push harder everyday. I want to believe that my hunger is greater than any fear I may have, and that I can silence doubt in my head. My desire to realize my dream and to share my gifts with the world must be louder than any noise I can hear.
From now on, how about you decide to move from fear to resilience? from avoidance to perseverance? I know pain is real, so is the growth journey!

I was the same way when I was younger! I was like, “Oh, all the stars will align if I keep dreaming!” Funny, Kat. Funny. Thanks again for your inspiring words!
Ki Kat,
Haha, I totally get it! There’s something so beautiful about that youthful innocence, thinking that just wishing on stars would make everything fall into place. If only, right? But hey, it’s those moments that make us who we are. Thank you for chiming in!
