You know that little voice inside you?

Yeah, the one that won’t let you alone sometimes. Asking when you’re going to stop just hoping and wishing and dreaming? When you’re going to stop wasting time and start living your one glorious life, gloriously?

The one that keeps on asking when you’re going to do that thing you know you’re really meant to do.

Yeah, that one.

The annoying one.

I know you know her. We all do.

But most of us do a really good job of ignoring that voice. (Me? I just might be an expert at ignoring that voice.)

But the thing is, that voice that keeps you up at night or whispers in your ear when you see someone else living their dream fearlessly – she’s not going away.

Which just might be the best thing of all. Because dreams are not only meant to be dreamed – they’re meant to be lived.

This life – your life – is meant to be lived out loud. With everything you’ve got.

That little voice knows this.

And wants this for you.

That voice inside, the one who just won’t give it a rest sometimes, wants you to be brave.

To be brave enough not to let fear stop you from starting.

To be brave enough not to settle for less than your best.

To be brave enough not to give up before you try.

To be brave enough to live the dream that you dream.

To be brave enough to just be you.

To be brave enough to shine.
