Looking Into The Unknown







Do one thing every day that scares you. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

This quote sits on a shelf in my living room.  There have been many days when these words have gotten me through the day.  Some days it was just getting up and making the bed that scared me.  Other days it was venturing outside my front door. 

Alice started her day being scared of many things.  I wonder how tame those fears seemed to her after her day was over.  She had to be scared when she was falling down the rabbit hole.  Each step of her journey was a step into the unknown.  Every turn brought experiences more bizarre than those she’d just left.  Alice had to seriously wonder if her mind was completely gone.  But she never turned back.

Alice had to conquer each fear and in the end she found a stronger, braver version of herself.  Looking back at everything I've been through and survived I realize that I am a stronger, braver version of myself as well.

What will you do today that scares you?
