Dream Big Scary Dreams
Have you found your passion? Are you living it?
So there is no secret that I have found mine. Years ago (10 to be exact) while working out and losing weight for my wedding, thoughts about becoming a personal trainer had crossed my mind.
Problem is, that girl back then was very insecure and thought that those dreams were just silly. What would I bring to the table as a personal trainer anyhow?
Fast forward to now. As a Beachbody Coach, I get to be the next best thing to a certified personal trainer. I get to encourage others, share my journey and inspire those who want something better for themselves and their heath to finally DO SOMETHING about it. I can recommend and offer amazing workouts, unparalleled nutrition, and all the cheers you deserve during your own journey. No, I am not a professional, I don't have a title... but I encourage just the same. And you know what, my challengers are GETTING RESULTS. They are losing weight, losing inches, gaining muscle, and more importantly gaining CONFIDENCE.
I LOVE THIS.
So here's the thing with passions. They cause you to think bigger. Strive for the next level. To want better things to happen... not that good things aren't already happening. Have you been here? Do you have your passion? Do you want bigger and better things?
I have. And let me tell you... they scare me. But more importantly... they EXCITE me. Making dream boards or bucket lists or something along those lines isn't just for the business minded people. Try it... think about something that you want for your future. Maybe its more money. Maybe its a THING. Maybe it is something bigger than yourself. Charity. Family. Friends. Travel. Whatever it is, write it down. Don't be hesitant. Write those dreams out. They are your goals for the next week, the next month... the next year... or maybe sometime in your life.
But write them down. And find your plan to make them a reality. Just because they scare you a little, doesn't mean you should put them away. Or worse, be ashamed to say them out loud. I used to do that. I would have these thoughts cross my mind about things I really would like to do but I would shove them back down into the creative recesses of my brain because they were too scary. Or I thought I couldn't possibly pull them off, or gasp!, no one would support me.
Well, I am DONE with all of that. It is time I let my big scary dreams out. I have some goals for the year that I already have met, some that I plan on meeting and some that I may not meet... but you know what? I certainly am NOT going to give up trying to reach them. These are MY dreams and goals, and I don't want to rest until they become a reality.
Some of my big scary dreams?
Are you going to push yours aside? Or are you going to dream big scary dreams and let them become a reality? Just because they are scary doesn't have to mean they aren't exciting! Only YOU can make the decision to follow them.
I hope that you have a wonderful, scary day! ~Joslin

This is my passion. I have found it. I love fitness. I love eating right. And I LOVE to share this lifestyle with anyone who will listen (or read). This is who I am. Don't like it? Sorry! That is how I know I have found my passion. When I don't care what anyone else thinks about it.
