Favorite Quote:
Even if you’re scared, you don’t have everything laid out, or know exactly how it’s going to work, just continue taking that next best step in the direction that you want to go. Evaluate this on a daily basis, maybe even multiple times per day. Whether you think something feels right or feels it needs to be eliminated from your life, make that decision immediately. You know your true desire.
