Challenge Accepted

Welcome back and happy Friday! In today’s blog I will be sharing a quote I found this week that really fits with what I’m doing in my life right now. This will be a shorter post today, but I still think the message is important!

This is the quote that I posted on my @igettoandiam Instagram account.

After high school I really struggled with limiting my challenges. I thought that due to my challenges I couldn’t pursue the career I wanted. I started making a plan for college that was based around the limits I gave myself. Which included staying home and going to community college. (I have nothing against community college, the ones near me just didn’t have what I was interested in.) But I soon realized that by doing so, I felt like I was settling. I knew what I wanted to study so I decided to apply to a college to see if it could even be an option. A few days later I found out that I had been accepted. With this new and exciting news, I finally feel like I’m challenging my limits. I know it won’t be easy, but I am ready and willing to take this opportunity head on. The college I will be attending is out of state which means I will be living on my own. That alone will be SO different, but I am excited because now I will have to take care of myself. No more “Mom I don’t feel good or nothing sounds good.” I will get to deal with my own problems now. I love and appreciate my parents so much and I’m grateful for all they do and have done for me. I’m eager to be independent and try this whole thing called life out on my own. So whatever challenges you are facing, I urge to not set limits for yourself based off of them. I know it is hard but if you are always limiting yourself, you’ll never know what you are truly capable of. So, this is how I’m choosing to challenge my limits, how will you challenge yours? #igettoandiam
