Fearless!

Since the sun finally decided to make an appearance, my little one and I went outside after dinner to enjoy it! 

While she was riding her bike, she turned quickly and ALMOST tipped over, of course the mom in me told her "Be careful!!" ....to which she calmly replied - "It's okay mama, if I fall down, I just get back up again!" 

Which got me thinking - WHY is it that children can be so FEARLESS yet so many adults I know are afraid of so many things? (myself included!)

Babies are born with NO fear, it is learned! 

Children are so relentless and determined - just think, they have to learn how to crawl, walk, talk - and it's definitely not easy!! They fall down, they get frustrated, they get hurt.

BUT they don't give up!!!

Giving up is NOT even an option! And no matter how many times they fall, they get back up and try again!!!

WHEN does this fear take over? Fear of failure, fear of what other people will think, fear of TRYING, fear of change?

As a fitness coach I have heard it many times - "what if I can't _______" (you fill in the blank, I've heard it all) 

My question is WHAT IF YOU CAN?!! -

 I don't know about you but I'm more afraid of "WHAT IF" than "OH WELL" - at least I know I will have TRIED!

We only get one chance and we don't get anywhere by staying in our comfort zones!

Go live your life FEARLESSLY!!
