12 Things That Will Make You Bold, Courageous and Successful

Please note: This is a beautifully bold guest post from the Amazing Tess Marshall! Enjoy darlings 🙂

When we put successful people on pedestals, we put ourselves down. We forget that they’re human. We forget that they experience fear, failure and rejection just like everyone else.

The difference is that they keep going, in spite of their fears. They’re not afraid to put it all on the line.

They let go of what others think of them. They risk experimenting with something new to get closer to their dreams. They’re not afraid of the spotlight.

Tumultuous Times

But, all that happiness changed and took a nasty turn when I entered my teens. Suddenly, the cute chubby girl needed to become thin to fit in. I tried. I tried. And then I tried some more. I just couldn’t become thin and hence never fit in. Now, in this healed state, I know that’s a good thing. I know owning my Uniqueness is my happiness. But in that tumultuous teenage time, it was horror. I became SO conscious. Stopped being myself and did many awful things to fill that hole in my heart. Rest assured it never got full till I began to love myself when I discovered spirituality. Continue reading “Positive Weight-loss Tips from a Happier, Healthier and Lighter me” →
