Despite fear and anxiety, please pursue it.

Before we go on with the rest of this blog, I want to give thanks to Luvvie Ajayi, the person who gave a great TED Talk on this very discussion. 

As this generation continues to grow, the opportunity to make a living doing what you love is honestly readily available. There are many tools that can help one succeed in today's market, including social media. But despite all that, I find that many of us (younger demographic) still struggle in mastering a specific "tool". As with life in general, there are points where things can go completely wrong, but personally what defines those heroes is not what they have done, but what they've gone through to get it.

I'm talking about the comfort zone, a place where to some it is impossible to leave. But I am here to say that leaving that comfort zone is quite possibly the best thing one could ever do. 

Everyone wants to be famous and if not, everyone wants to be wealthy or some sort of financially stable. For those that aspire to be the next top model, or the next Kylie Kardashian, I'm here to say that doing that is impossible without facing some fear and discomfort. To get anywhere successful in life, one must face those tough situations even if they may not want to; but for the better, they must. I am a firm believer in that. Being able to perform in situations where one is completely out of their comfort zone is a talent. Once you master that ability, nothing can stop you.

No matter how tough the challenge, I persuade you to go on. Working out is a great example, all it is is continuing to push yourself despite the strain and pain that your body is enduring. Get out of that comfort circle, it'll leave you stagnant. It may be a cliche but you are your own competition. Once you beat yourself, do it again, and again and again. Once again to get anywhere you've never been before, you've got to do things you've never done before. It'll teach you to keep your cool under pressure. You'll be able to speak about million dollar deals without breaking a sweat. 

Don't look at everything as an obstacle, but rather a challenge. A challenge that you are down to take. Don't get me wrong, some things can be completely out of your control. Some things can leave you heart broken and torn, but believe me, keep going! Life is an insane roller coaster, strive to ride that coaster without screaming a word.

Strive for the best, keep your cool, have high standards and even higher motivation. Most of all, get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
