"Take a chance. It's the best way to test yourself, have fun and push boundaries." -Richard Branson
The "Take a Chance On Yourself Blog" offers a beautiful invitation to embrace growth, courage, and transformation by breaking free from the limits we often place on ourselves. Here's a breakdown of these five key questions:
-
What does it mean to you to take a chance on yourself?
Taking a chance on yourself means believing in your potential and trusting that you can navigate the unknown. It's about stepping into opportunities with courage and allowing yourself the space to grow, regardless of the outcome. -
How have you allowed yourself to take chances in your life?
Reflect on moments when you've taken risks in both small and large ways. These could be pivotal decisions like starting a new career, relocating to a different place, or even shifting your mindset from fear to curiosity. -
What resistance have you had to overcome to allow yourself to take chances?
Resistance often comes in the form of fear, doubt, or attachment to comfort and security. Identifying these internal and external barriers can help you realize what's held you back in the past and how you can confront them moving forward. -
How are you currently taking a chance on yourself?
Whether you're in the middle of a big leap or taking baby steps towards your goals, reflect on the actions you're taking right now that align with your true desires. -
What is the resistance or fear you are currently experiencing, or what is holding you back from taking a chance on yourself?
This question digs into what’s currently standing in your way. Perhaps it's fear of failure, worry about judgment, or concerns about financial or emotional security. Recognizing these fears is a vital step toward breaking through them.
As you share and explore these questions with others on the blog, it will undoubtedly foster a powerful community of support. Everyone's journey looks different, but the common thread is the bravery it takes to step into the unknown for the sake of growth

Body Image Gone Wrong
No one should feel less than because of the way they look. That’s a pretty powerful statement and not one many believe as I have come to learn in my last 25 years in the fitness industry, including myself.
Our self-worth seems to be very much tied into our body image for both men and women. For many years that is what the fitness industry was all about and it still very much seems to be all about, the way we look. We get wrapped up in thoughts like, am I skinny enough? Am I too fat? Do I…
Expect a Miracle
I am a very driven person. I have always found a way to be successful in my career or in athletics. I would push myself by learning whatever I needed to do to become successful at it.
