Believe In Yourself

 

I have been in a really reflective mood lately - maybe it is because I am preparing to pack up my whole life on the East Coast and head back to California this summer. Which is so exciting and totally terrifying at the same time. This past year and a half has been full of twists and turns for me as a woman and a new business owner. And through it all I have struggled with doubting myself, my goals, and what I really even wanted in the first place. 

Aka did I see myself starting my freelance business at 23 with pretty much no idea what the heck I was doing? No! Is it one of the most amazing, rewarding, and fun adventures I have ever been on? Yes! 

But the beginning of it all, was pushing myself to just simply believe in myself to do it. I struggle with this daily, but confidence is not cockiness. Believing in yourself can be quiet - it doesn't have to be loud and completely annoying to all of your family, friends, and followers. But it is important - it is the start of the journey of where YOU want to go.

And of course the #girlboss Sophia Amoruso said it best herself :

 

"When you believe in yourself, other people will believe in you, too."
