We have it every day about something, someone, an emotion, a decision we have to make. How do we get past this doubt that creeps into our life constantly? Do we trust our gut? our heart? our friend's advice? Our U.S. currency says, "In God We Trust". The latter is probably the best choice when it comes to BIG things. But what about the little things? Like Skinny Wraps! Cross Fit! Aging Cream! Energy Drinks! Are they fads? Do you REALLY get results or is is just a scam?
Friends, if there is one thing I've learned in the past years of my crazy 100mph life, it is dont' stress over the little things! When in doubt- TRY IT! What's worse, the annoyance of doubt that lingers in your head and gut, causing you to wonder if your are missing out on something that everyone else is enjoying? OR the pain of taking the step of CHANGE- try it and finding out it doesn't work for you. Nothing lost, nothing gained, but you don't bask in doubt anymore. It's really that simple. Worse case scenario, you wrap and don't get results. You try cross-fit and you don't like it. You smear aging cream on your face and still have age spots. Or you drink 8 oz of orange flavored "energy" and you don't feel energetic. No more questions. You just got the answer all by yourself! Why are we so skeptical? We naturally resist change and we could be missing out on something that could improve our health, make us happy, or make life easier and more enjoyable. I'll opt for positive changes any day any time!
It's ok to be the blue fish. But, be the blue fish because you tried something new and it wasn't for you. Don't be the blue fish because you are the only one who has resisted a SMALL option in life that everyone else seems to be enjoying!
We have to make so many decisions on a daily basis. Some are life changing that effect a lot of factors- our family, our friends, our job, our income. Other decisions are tiny tiny tiny. This blog is about the tiny stuff. For the BIG stuff go with the USA currency suggestion!
I'd love to hear from you! Are you a blue fish because of doubt?
There is doubt and there is truth. Discover it!
