Taking That 1st Step,
Have you found your “Wild & Crazy”? I am still searching and seeking. Do you have to be “Wild & Crazy” to get what you want? It depends on what you want out of life.

Have you taken that 1st step? At times yes and other times not so much. Are you thinking of leaping off the edge and going for one Wild & Crazy” adventure? I do love a great adventure.

That Leap Off the Edge
The hardest and scariest part is taking that 1st step and not the leap off the edge! The first step is so not easy. Why is that! I need to take that to heart and proceed with caution.

I struggle just putting myself out there some days! Then there is that whole going after what I want. The pressure and stress as well as the rejection and failure. I so need my comforter to shield me and hide me some days. Just maybe I could use my comforter as a much needed parachute!
I am rife with self-doubt when it comes to making decisions because I am so set on making the right one! I am my biggest obstacle when it comes to getting in my way and stopping myself in going for something I really want. I need to be tapping into my talents in times of self-doubt. Switch from self-doubt to self-assurance!
I know I need to expand my world more, but I certainly make it more difficult than it needs to be! I must envision fulfillment, satisfaction and most of all success. I so want to be more and that means being a better version of myself! I must be more open to the possibilities and be an agent of change in my life.

Hanging On & Holding Back
What keeps you hanging on and holding back in living the life you want?
I know for me it is the UNKNOWN! So sometimes I take it in baby steps versus taking that 1st step. I have to remind myself that the worse that can happen is I fall flat on my face. If and when that happens I just have to pick myself up and go on. I need to focus on letting go of perfection and just go with the process!
I can pretty much do anything I put my mind to! However, with that being said it is the commitment to do it that is hard work. Sometimes I just need a little push in the right direction. Sometimes I just need someone to hold me accountable, including myself. I have to say to myself that I can do it and will do it to the best of my abilities too!

Learning to Let Go
How do you let go in taking that 1st step?
Sometimes a little trust and faith go a long way! Sometimes you need to take baby steps or need a push to get started. Sometimes you need to hold someone else’s hand and go together on the count of 3! Sometimes you just have to take that leap and hope you land on your 2 feet.
Remember to NOT hang on and hold back for too long! It may be the greatest opportunity ever passing you by!

This post really resonates with me today. Thank you for your encouragement. I think, as I age, I feel more and more that I can’t wait anymore. Just do it.

On our 4 month road trip last year, I was always nervous we wouldn’t find a place to park and was in continual planning mode. Now that we’re full-time….which we jumped into…..I’m not as obsessed. Everything is temporary now and it doesn’t have to be perfect. Surprisingly, its very freeing. I’m glad we leaped 🙂

Ingrid –
I am glad you took the leap and discovered it to be a freeing experience too:)

It’s really interesting what you pointed out, that *we* are our biggest obstacles to change and to getting more out of life! I think just knowing that is quite powerful, because it means we have much more control than we might think.
