Living the Life by Jenna

If you keep constantly asking yourself “what if it doesn’t work out?” stop for a second and ask yourself this:

What if nothing ever changes?

What if the life you are living today slowly just continues like this for YEARS?

And one day you look back and realize you never actually gave yourself a real chance. And you never found out what could have been possible for you.

So instead, start to ask yourself this:

What if I never tried?

What if I never gave myself the chance to find out?

Because if it works… You get the freedom, experiences and life you’ve been thinking about for a long time.

And if it doesn’t? At least you’ll know. At least you’ll have moved. And you won’t be stuck years from now still wondering what could have happened if you had just taken the chance.

Seems like a pretty good bet to me, because your worst case scenario is your current situation.

Hi, my name is Jenna. After spending 15 years in the rat race and decided to start and built an online business even though I was scared, skeptical and honestly full of doubt in the beginning.

How I found the courage the start? Because in the end the thing that I was scared the most wasn’t failing… It was the idea that I would never even try and never get to live the life I was imagining.

Now I do.

And sometimes I think about how different everything would be if I had let fear decide for me.

One of my biggest fears before starting my online business was social media.

I was never a “social media person.”

I had a private account, barely posted anything and the thought of putting myself out there honestly scared s**t out of me.

But it wasn’t the strangers I was scared about. It was my friends. My family. The people I kind of knew.

I was so scared of what they might think or say that it almost stopped me from even starting.

So I asked myself: What am I actually scared of?

The answer was simple: I was scared of embarrassing myself publicly.

So, I decided to flip the situation around.

If one of my friends started something new, launched a business or decided to chase a dream, what would I do?

I’d support them.

And honestly, so would you.

Or maybe you wouldn’t think much about it at all.

The fact is, most people are far too busy thinking about their own lives to spend much time judging yours.

You see a friend’s post, scroll past it and an hour later you’ve already forgotten about it.

The same applies to everyone else.

Don’t let the stories in your own head stop you from building the life you want.

And here’s a little trick I used when I started:

I created a brand-new Instagram account.

And yes, at the beginning I blocked a lot of people from seeing it because that gave me the confidence to take the first step.

Was it perfect? No.

But it helped me move forward.

So don’t block yourself from your dreams because of fears that exist only in your imagination.

The life you want is usually sitting on the other side of the thing you’re scared to do.

Rule 1: stop shrinking yourself to fit into rooms you were never meant for.

Rule 2: build a life that actually feels like yours.

The world doesn’t need another copy-paste human. It needs people who are brave enough to be fully, unapologetically themselves.

Be loud.
Be ambitious.
Be different.
Be the rainbow sheep.

Most people spend their whole lives trying to fit in.
Meanwhile the magic happens the second you stop performing and start being.

Life’s too short to be ordinary. Be fu***ng extraordinary.

It’s your life. Your rules. Your energy.
