I often wonder why we as women allow ourselves to be mistreated at times. At some point in our lives we have allowed or continue to allow others to walk all over us mistaking our kindness for weakness. You’re probably thinking – I’ve heard this before – Yes, but do we actually LISTEN? Do you choose to make decisions? Not doing anything at all to stand-up for yourself or for what you want IS a decision in itself.

See, I have been in relationships where I have allowed someone to mistreat me, talk negatively to me and create self-doubt. I bought into what that person was selling me. Stuff like, I was not worthy of a man who truly respected me and was kind. I was not worthy of that job title or promotion. I was not worthy to pursue my dreams and goals. I must accept my current situation or circumstances. Well, you know what I say, I say NO!

At a turning point I decided to NO longer listen to that person, rather listen to my inner voice telling me YOU CAN! My inner voice who I have shut out for so long. YOUCAN walk away from this toxic relationship, YOU CAN get that promotion, YOU CAN do anything you darn right want to do!! BUT, only YOU have the power to make that choice and believe that you too CAN!

We must be FEARLESS and BOLD – it is very scary to change and encompass change. But, in the same sense it is also very liberating and once we start living for ourselves our possibilities are endless.

Cheers to all those who are already living bold and fearless lives. One baby step at a time. Remember, everyday we make a choice – a choice to be positive, a choice in what and who we surround ourselves with. A choice to put our dreams on hold, or a choice to pursue them.

What is your choice today?

This is my first post as I am trying something new and I am choosing to be bold and fearless. It has been a goal of mine for far too long to be a blogger. I hope you have enjoyed what you have read so far.

Rock on friend, you can do anything you set your mind to.
