It’s a valid question. And some of us are afraid of the answer. We really deserve much more than we accept most of the time. Why do we hold back? What keeps us from running head on into that dream that we want? Why should someone else have success and not us? There are a lot of reasons of what holds us back but primarily it is our own selves who keep us from going for it.

I was talking to Melissa (my sister and co-owner of PLC) about this a few years back and, although I think it struck a chord with both of us, we kind of had a running joke after that conversation. When one of us would say ‘I kinda want to do this’ or ‘I think I might want that’, even if one of us were talking about going to the store to grab a Coke, the other one would come back with ‘why not you?’. But in all seriousness it made us think. It was one of those game changing things.  Why couldn’t we have those big dreams, or that killer body, or whatever awesome thing that kept bugging us in the back of our minds? Because we deserved it just as much as the next guy.

If we work hard, pursue it, make it happen, we have the right to make it ours.

When this whole ‘what about you?’ thing hit me, it changed things up for me. I decided to get really serious about my business. I deserved to grab hold of this dream job and make it all that I want it to be. And I did. So, whatever you are wanting in your life, why not you? What is holding you back? Let go of the junk, punch fear in the face, and make it happen! 

I hope you decide to make the jump and get whatever it is you are wanting right now (unless it involves stalking or something illegal because I don’t think that is a good idea). But this is YOUR life, and this is YOUR time right now. Go get it! Why not you?
