Take the Risk, Love the Ride

🌸 Inspiration Corner

"You can fail at what you don't want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love." – Jim Carrey

I remember reading this quote for the first time and just sitting there, stunned. I mean, how often do we play it safe? Choose the "secure" path. Stick to what’s expected. And yet—there are no guarantees even on that route. The job you don't enjoy could still vanish. The client you bent over backwards for might ghost you. It happens. And if failure’s a possibility either way, why not risk it on something that actually lights your soul on fire?

This really hit home for me when I was deciding whether to pivot my business. It was scary. But I realized—I'd rather stumble chasing a path I love than succeed feeling stuck. And every time I’ve honored that, things have unfolded in wild, beautiful ways. Being mindful in that moment—feeling the fear, acknowledging the risk, and choosing joy anyway—that's the game-changer.



🧘‍ Mindful Living Tip

Do a “Heart Check” Before Saying Yes

Next time you’re about to commit to something—new client, new project, new path—pause. Close your eyes and ask: Does this feel aligned or just obligated? We often say yes out of fear: fear of disappointing someone, fear of missing out, fear of instability. But when I slow down and ask my heart instead of my ego, I make choices that feel right—not just look right.

Try journaling it out. Write: “If I weren’t afraid, I would…” and let your truth pour onto the page. Sometimes, clarity shows up the moment you stop trying to logic your way through everything.

"I was working in a job I hated, but I stayed because it paid well. One day, I got laid off unexpectedly. It shook me—but it also freed me.

"I opened a handmade jewelry store online after years of talking myself out of it. I thought, 'What if no one buys?' But I flipped it—'What if they do?' Now I ship orders worldwide. I was scared, but I’m so glad I did it scared." – Janelle, Jewelry Artist

​"I left a stable teaching job to start a life coaching business. Everyone thought I was crazy. Some days, I thought so too. But I trusted my gut. I started with one client. Now I’ve got a waitlist. I failed more than once—but I never stopped moving toward what I loved." – Carla, Life Coach
