Going after your dreams takes faith and a whole lot of courage. Fear is going to creep in all the cracks, when it is not breaking down the front door. Because we have this great big amazing goal, and we are terrified that we are going to fall flat in the mud. Then what?! Worse than failing we might just have to accecpt help from those around us. And that dent in our pride might actually kill us. ----more----

Yes, this is dramatic. But asking for help is something most of us are terrible at. we run from even the possibility of needing help. And sometimes we fight the offered backup plan or safety net so much we lose track of our actual goals. ----more----

This week we talk about being brave enough to accept the safety net so we can get on with our dreams.

What makes you happy? What does success mean? ----more----

It is a simple answer to a pretty complex question. It means whatever we want it to mean. You as the master of your life get to decide what happiness looks like. You get to decide what success looks like. That is your right and privilege. Do not give it away. ----more----

You can be happy. You can be successful but only if you actually know what you are shooting for. And to do that you need to be brave enough to ask some questions. Questions about your opinions and beliefs around successful happy living. ----more----

Be bold. Be brave. Ask the question, and redefine happiness for yourself. ----more----
