E8. How to Overcome Fear and Pursue Your Dreams
So many of the most incredible opportunities I’ve had in my life have come from me pushing past fear. It’s a human emotion, that never goes away… so know that and realize there’s SO much potential goodness on the other side. 🫶🏽✨
You cannot use someone else’s fire. You can only use your own. And in order to do that, you must first be willing to believe that you have it.
-Audre Lorde
