A Simple Reminder

“Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of courage, and I promise you something great will come of it.”-Benjamin Mee

This quote was contained in the movie We Bought A Zoo and must i say it was eye opening, This quote was a little reminder to me that i am needing to put a little courage into my life, whether it only be for twenty seconds or for twenty minutes. Either way i need to find this courage and do something with my life, something great, something wonderful, something different, and for one time, just take that leap of faith. Take the leap! The leap that has been needing to happen for months its time to do this and go. I must face the fears, the potentials to fail or fall flat on my face, but also the ability to get up and try again. I need to become a woman for full of courage than fear, i no longer need to be afraid. I need to just do. I need to just be. I need to just live. I need to just leap. 

God has a plan, a huge plan for me, but in order for me to find that plan and put it into practice i need to be brave. Being brave means having or showing courage according to Merriam Webster Dictionary. I have to find that courage and go with it. I need to stop thinking about everything so much. I think way too much and i miss amazing people or great opportunities, i need to just put myself out there. My goal or per say revolution for 2012 is to take the leap. Its scary, no its terrifying, but i can, i will, and i must. 

Jeremiah 29:11 says,

For i know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

This verse creates for me a sense of bravery and courage, the courage to step out and trust that Gods decisions/my decisions are the right ones for my future because God is on my side. 

This is so true! Its incredible how time changes and people change. Im coming to realize a lot about life in 2011. Its hard to trust people and their word now, i have become more skeptical, less trustworthy of others, and have thought about everything in life way more than before. This year has also been eye opening to lots of things, like i have a great family and amazing set of friends. Its hard to see that through all the other crap that happens. This year was a make it or break it time. I chose to make my path positive from the things that happened and to move on the right way, even when others seem to do it all wrong. I have needed time to myself to think and figure things out and indeed this is what i did. Im tired of thinking, i want to act upon things, make good choices, take chances, do things different. Obviously it hasnt been working before so ill change it. I must move on and make next year even better than the past. 

I have been struggling with this lately, but i found this and it has made my outlook a bit different. :) Take a look see!

Just a thought to live by. :)
