What would a new version of you look like? Not a completely new version but one who expands in all the ways you desire to exude all the characteristics in full form.

One who is bolder and takes more risks.
One who is wiser and shares their wisdom. 
One who is more confident and shows up stronger. 
One who is more vulnerable and strengthens their connections.
One who is more authentic and lives with a more mindful presence. 

The truth is, change is difficult. Change takes leaving the familiar and venturing off into the unknown. It’s leaving the comfort of what you’ve known before to experience the possibility of growth. A rich and abundant life is about discovering how far you can grow into the potential the universe has instilled in you.

You can either take small steps towards becoming a new version of yourself or one giant leap. If taking one giant leap sounds scary it’s because it is.

Real transformation happens when you take any step towards a new direction and for most of us, these are small steps towards building the momentum needed to take another and then another. These smaller steps lessen anxiety as you’re slowly introducing contrast into your life while learning how to integrate the changes.

A small step could look like sharing an idea you’ve tucked away to breathe life back into it.
A small step could look like having deeper conversations by asking deeper questions.
A small step could look like speaking up first in whatever form this looks like to you.
A small step could look like sharing a piece of your story that not many have heard.
A small step could look like flowing into what brings you true joy and basking in it. 

You are here to be the best version of yourself. Don’t let others — or yourself — hold you back. You are meant to live as a beautiful and magnificent being experiencing life to the highest degree imaginable.
