Beyond Avoidance & Future Self

[amymyoung]

What should you have done this year but didn’t because you were too scared, worried, unsure, busy or otherwise deterred from doing? (Bonus: Will you do it?)

Finished and published Kiss the Flame. I let the little voices in my head hold me back. This upcoming year, yes, I will do it.

Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead?

Dear Amy,

Life isn't easy, but you already know that. You need to do what makes you happy -- no matter what other people might think. When you're doing things right, that's when people are going to argue against you.

Don't let the little voice in your head that makes you think that you're less than everyone else get to you, don't let it lead you into the darkness again. If things take a turn for the bad, take a deep breath, look in the mirror and believe in yourself - even if you don't want to or don't think you can. You can do it. You are loved and there are people who believe in you.

So knock their socks off being YOU.

Love & Hugs,

Amy (from five minutes years from now.)
