happy friday + that feeling... 20 Jul 2012

I recently heard someone say, "If it doesn't make you slightly uncomfortable, it's not worth doing." While my initial reaction would be "Why would I want to do anything that makes me uncomfortable?", after thinking about it some more I realized that tingling, grumbling, butterflies in your stomach kind of feeling can be a good thing. It comes from being challenged, trying something new, and hoping that those new things actually work out. I've had lots of transition lately in my business and in the direction I am taking some of my creative pursuits lately. Sometimes you can keep going with things because they're easy, but it's making changes and trying something new that really helps you grow and think in new ways {my stomach rumbles as I write this}. 

Hope you guys have a great weekend, and perhaps, try something new even if it makes you a little queasy... — Joy
