If you want to make real change in your life, you have to know it’s going to be uncomfortable.
Everything has its process.
You’re going to feel scared. You’re going to have growing pains. That’s part of being a human.
But your ability to make mistakes and still stay true to your goals will determine whether or not you make it.
You have to take it one step at a time.
You have to surround yourself with people who share your belief system.
And you have to be honest with yourself.
Little by little, your self-confidence will grow, and you’ll be miles away from where you started.
