The Pep Talk

“Find out what you’re afraid of and go live there.” -Chuck Palahniuk

“Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.” -Salvador Dali

There’s a million reasons to be afraid. There’s a million excuses you can come up with to avoid the one threshold you just can’t seem to cross. Let’s not talk about it much. Let’s talk about you. Do you know all the hoops you had to jump through just to get there? Sit with that for a moment. That door is yours and yours only. I know you already know that no one else can open it for you. I’m not here to tell you that. I’m here to remind you that regardless of what’s on the other side of that door, you’re still everything you hoped you could be. The moment you walked up to that door, I knew you were ready, more ready than you ever realized you were. This doesn’t have to be some big thing. It can be a quiet step across the threshold. We can make more noise later, when you’re ready. For now, just know you’ve got what it takes.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
