Motivational Monday #20

Today, I embark on the new chapter of my life. In life, you have new experiences and challenges put towards you. When you're young, the majority of your chapters are filled with the milestones of learning from the individual challenges of walking to conquering primary/high school. But then there are the challenges that you choose for yourself even though you have the fear that you might fail. I closed the chapter of my first degree in July and now I am peering down the unwritten chapter of my PGCE. It's not one of those easy, lay back, passive degrees; it involves a huge element of dedication, passion and hard work. 
I am ready to take the bull by the horns and face this challenge head on and that is the message that I want to send to you all this Motivational Monday. The greatest thing about this message is that regardless if your chapter or challenge is school related, we all have challenges in our everyday life and we all get scared of them. We all worry about failure and not being good enough but only the brave are willing to put themselves on the line to achieve greatness. Be part of the brave and don't let fear stop you from facing challenges. It gives you some of the lowest moments in your life but it always gives you the greatest!
For you to qualify as having done something amazing, you need to take the plunge in life to get there. Don't be weak and let others govern how your life is going to be. Don't let the fear of the unknown decide your fate; don't let it be the barrier that stops you from reaching the stars. 

In the words of one of Tom's favourite quotes: Making a big life change is scary. But do you know what's even scarier? Regrets.

We are all smart people and we all know what we want from life. The hardest thing is buckling down and actually doing something to achieve those things. We all want things to be simple and come to us with a click of our fingers but that isn't how life works. Work hard, achieve greatness and feel amazing.
Gotta love a fitting film quote (A Cinderella Story)
Fear is an emotion that we can conquer as well as a mountain; we just have to have the right mindset to want to climb the mountain despite the harsh winter.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, if you're starting school/college/uni or facing a new job, enjoy the times when something matters so much that it can make you physically ill. It's that fear that guides you in knowing that you're striving for everything you deserve.

Be yourself, work hard and smile!
