I’ve talked with several women lately who have told me they feel a change stirring deep within themselves. A feeling they are about to break out of their self-imposed shell, a feeling they are ready to unleash themselves. Something is awakening in their very being that’s saying, No more holding back. No more saying Yes to please others.
Have you ever had such a feeling?
Many of us were brought up to be “good girls”. To be modest, proper, to not rock the boat and even, to be inconspicuous. To strive to be perfect, to cater to the male ego and to be polite, always. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting you be impolite. What I am suggesting is, as women, we compromise ourselves to fit in, to be liked, to do what we should do and be who we should be – rather than do what we want and be who we really are.
I love the word audacious – it puts a smile on my face. It means fearless, courageous, confident, bold, gutsy, spunky, and adventurous. Life is not about being perfect or looking perfect. Life is about the choices you make and the experiences you have. It’s about stepping fully into your power, unapologetically, with joy, grace and ease. It’s about taking calculated risks and getting out of your comfort zone. This is where Magic resides.
The opposite of audacious is fearful and timid.
Would you rather be brave or fearful?
It’s your life. Choose wisely.
