Stop shrinking yourself to fit into other people's comfort zones

Do you ever find yourself holding back in situations because you are afraid of what others might think about you, not saying what you feel or even not wearing what you want to? You’re not alone, I felt that way a majority of my life. I’ve always felt like I didn’t fit in. Of course now at this stage in my life I realize I’m actually grateful for that. I don’t want to “fit in”. What a bland and boring world it would be if no one ever stood out. Right?! I promise you it’s okay to be yourself (of course that doesn’t mean go and be an a$$hole if that’s your thing). The right people will love and accept you. As for the others, life will go on for them and for you. The difference is you will be happy living in your own authenticity. You deserve to be bold. To chase your dreams. You deserve to take up space in this world as you are. Read that one again! So today I challenge you to be BIG. To stop being small because it might make someone else comfortable. You were not put on this earth to just survive. You are here to THRIVE! XO, Kathleen
