From a Friend to a Friend.
<p>Hi there! Don't worry this isn't a horror cliffhanger, it's something real.</p><p><br/></p><p> To be absolutely sincere, I get overwhelmed a lot and I know so many do too. So, I want us to sit together and chat; you know, like friends.   </p><p><br/></p><p>Something I've come to realize is that whether you're optimistic or not, this world has a way to add a sprinkle of pessimism.</p><p><br/></p><p>Why does everyone on social media seem to be very successful?</p><p><br/></p><p>On the other hand, you seem to be lagging behind. </p><p><br/></p><p>I know how that feels friend, trust me, I know.</p><p><br/></p><p>You know what? Here are 3 things you should know:</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>1. You're not lagging behind: have you taken that first step?. Have you started that story?. Have you started eating healthy?. Then, you're not lagging behind.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>2. Don't be afraid: the task at hand may be daunting, seem impossible, or too challenging. Ask for help. You can't always do things alone. Work with someone that is ready to assist; to take the load off your shoulders.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>3. It's okay to not be okay: take the needed breaks, go offline, take a walk with your pet, have a snack, meditate, breathe in… and out… Everything will be fine.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Take that first step; this would be one of the scariest aspects other than actually doing the task. Before you start, highlight your goals, be determined, focus on working smart, and avoid distractions.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I tell you, YOU CAN DO IT!. Start, be determined, focus, pray(yes, pray) and everything will work out well. If it doesn't, you can always be confident that you gave it a shot and that you did your best.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>There's no prize for first to be successful, first to be fit, first to be rich, first to be famous, etc. I know they like to make it seem like life is a competition but it's really not. The only real competition is against yourself. </p><p><br/></p><p>So, apply for that job, go for that interview, write that story.</p><p><br/></p><p>"What if I fail?" What if you don't?. Take that first step!. YOU CAN DO IT!</p><p><br/></p>
