This week’s yoga theme — “Living a mediocre life is scarier than committing to your dreams.” — reminds me of both who I was & who I’m still becoming.
Before I pilgrimaged to India for five weeks solo (no tour company, yall 😅), I cried at least once a week for an entire year. My husband can attest to that. I cried. I sobbed. Not because I didn’t want to go, but because I was terrified. Terrified of traveling alone. Terrified of being alone for the first time in my life. Terrified of stepping into the unknown.
But I did it.
& to this day, it remains one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself.
That experience taught me that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s deciding that what’s on the other side of fear matters more.
Because of India, I became stronger in every facet of my existence. It opened the door to independently exploring this big, beautiful world, connecting with incredible people, and hearing stories that humbled and expanded me. It reminded me that my reality is not the only reality.
& I share this because I know many of us are standing at the edge of something. A conversation, a change, a dream, a leap we keep postponing because it feels safer to stay where we are.
But sometimes the greater risk is never finding out who we could have become.
You are ready for your becoming.
