The Journey

“…just believe that you can accomplish the first step in getting there.”

“Without belief you’ll never get there, so believing that you can is crucial to the process. Doubting yourself and whether or not you can do it means that you’ll only give half-hearted effort, and that won’t be nearly as powerful as you could be. Belief can do it all, just believe that you can accomplish the first step in getting there.”- Alexa Jean Brown via Instagram @alexajeanfitness


In life there are many obstacles and unknowns, many uncertainties and doubts, and all those of which can repulse us from achieving who we are truly created to be. Alexa Jean Brown quotes how those doubts relay into a lack of effort. She so finely points out how if you don’t try full heartedly to get there, than how can you state you can never do it. We all have our dreams, missions, longings in life no matter how big or risky they may be. From becoming a winning race-car driver, to hiking Mount Everest with your children or loved ones, or maybe knitting a shirt for a new baby. What ever that image of your imagination pulls on your heartstrings, don’t let the obstacles in the way detract you from even starting that wonderful journey. 


The wandering can be so much more beautiful than the prize. Getting lost in the journey is an unexpected love. Once you decide to grasp on to determination of accomplishment, the first step, you can uncover a new side of your own person that you never knew was there. A goal or accomplishment is nice and satisfying for a few moments, but the wandering in the journey, the moment you start to create your memory of how special your accomplishments are, that is a memory that will last forever. 


Don’t sell yourself short. You are amazing. All you have to accomplish is that first step until the unraveling reveal of the special, self-satisfying moments. Go, push, believe- just do it.
