What does it mean to be fearless? As John Wayne would say, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” I think acting on your dreams in the face of fear is one of the most beautiful things a woman can do. We are so often told we have to be strong, bold, confident and fearless in order to chase our dreams, but I disagree. I think if you want to be funny, adorable, quiet, and unassuming you are just as capable at accomplishing beautiful things if you will just take on step of action towards your dreams daily.
You must identify where you are in the dreaming process. Is your notebook full of ideas but you have no idea where to even begin? Have you started five different times and just found yourself putting on the back-burner because of obstacles that kept popping up? Or are you simply exhausted because you are in relentless pursuit daily to accomplish your goals and dreams?
Here’s the thing ~> There is no right or wrong place to be in the dreaming process, if you will simply choose today to take a small step forward in face of any fear (hopefully in a beautiful pair of Texi’s).
Ask yourself, what is the one dream (if you could only choose one) you wish would come true?
Then ask yourself WHEN do you want it and WHAT are you willing to give up in order to get it.
Take a minute to write down the dreams you have bubbling up in your heart and without eliminating it from the list because it will “take too long”, “be too hard”, “you don’t know where to start” or you feel fear ~ just write it down. Next step is to put a date with it ~ in a perfect world, when do you want this dream to come true? Third step, you must be very honest in evaluating what you are going to have to give up in order to accomplish that goal.
Struggling to truly identify what it is that you want? Stay tuned on the next blog where I will go through how to discover and uncover those little dreams that have been hiding and how to get started in face of fear.
Where will your Texi’s take you if you allowed yourself to dream?

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.
