Well, hello to you, my reader chums! In such a fast-paced world where it feels like everyone is successful, living their best lives and doing IT ALL, it's scary to step away from the 'normal' and take the risk, changing your entire life or even part of your life. 

But for me, I've always been someone to push the boundary, take the risk and live outside 'the norm', I want more people to also channel that energy and push themselves to enjoy the life they want - because honestly, why not?

If you're thinking about trying something new, whether a career move or business, here are my thoughts about starting again.

Failure is okay

Failure is often taught as a bad thing, especially growing up in a school environment and seeing the highlight reels of everyone's life on social media. However, failure is good, positive even. Without failure, you'll never grow and you'll never succeed. Failure helps you learn more about yourself, how you work, what is and isn't for you.

I know starting something new means the potential to fail, but you shouldn't let that put you off. If you fail trying it, that in itself is a win, because you tried, and that's the hardest part.

Starting something new is meant to be scary and hard

Anything new is scary and hard; that's normal. When I started my business, every day was a struggle. It was all I thought about; I cried daily and was constantly stressed, and failure was common, and I wasn't succeeding in the way I hoped. However, by working at the business every day and showing up, I learned more about what I wanted, how to run a business, that failure is okay, and things started to become less scary and hard.

Embrace the scary and the hard. It may seem like hell in the moment, but over time, it'll be worth it and get better.

Starting again means growth

Starting again isn't meant to be easy, whether it's a new career, business, hobby or relationship. However, whatever the scenario is, starting and trying something new means you'll grow in some way. This could mean learning better boundaries, a new skill or life lessons that serve you well.

Good things come on the other side of your comfort zone

This phrase I preach a lot because it's true. If you stay in the same life bubble, how will you ever grow? Stepping out of your comfort zone, you can meet new people, travel to new places, learn new skills or build confidence. There's so much beauty in trying and pushing yourself.

Everything happens for a reason

I'm a firm believer in this. In the hard times, it may not seem like this, however, everything does happen for a reason, whether it's removing the wrong people from your life or opening up a door for something better.

I hope you enjoyed this post. What would you add?
