~Why~

Why do we do this to ourselves!?! Why do we as women limit ourselves? Why do we not believe in ourselves more? Why do we always compare ourselves and think "She is prettier, or more talented, or more creative?" Why don't we give ourselves a little more credit? Why do we think that everyone else has way more potential for success than we do? Why does the word why look so funny after writing it so many times? And finally Why have I been awake since 3:30 this morning???



Maybe my last question is the reason for my insane rant, but these questions have been on my mind a lot lately. I have been trying to find a way to make some money to contribute to my little family. I see other women starting businesses and making money and being successful and I am amazed at the things they accomplish. I have wanted to do something for a really long time but I talk myself out of it because I tell myself that I am not good enough to do it...I could never sell stuff online...I don't have a crafting ability worthy of an etsy shop...blah...blah...blah...

Today I change my attitude to say Why Not??? Why not try something I have never done before? Why not give it all I've got and see what the outcome might be? Why not try? What is the worst thing that can happen?

So with that I announce the beginning of a new ME. I will believe in myself and I will put myself out there and if I fail SO WHAT!?!
