I feel like I keep taking that first step over and over again. I work up the courage to start reaching towards my dreams and I find myself scared. What if I’m not good enough? What if I can’t do it? Maybe I should just go apply for a job at Walmart because I’ll never be (fill in your own dream here).
All I have to do today is take just one step. I don’t have to climb the whole mountain in just one day. I feel like my stomach is in my throat as I type out that e-mail to take that first step. I wonder if I will follow through this time. I wonder if I should even try.
The only thing that keeps me moving forward as I press the send button is hearing my sweet son coo-ing in his baby swing. He will be watching me while he grows up. I want him to have the courage to follow his dreams. I want him to believe that dreams really can come true (with some hard work and determination). If I want him to learn these truths, I have to model them.
He’s watching me, and it makes me want to be a better person.
