Have you ever wanted to make a change in your life, but you were afraid of the outcome? Have you ever wanted to ask for something, but you were afraid of the answer?  Well I’m here to tell you to be bold.  Travel to the place that you’ve always want to see.  Ask the questions that you want answers to.  Apply for your dream job.  Move to the city that you’ve always wanted to move to.  Whatever your dream is, be bold and brave in your decisions.  Take a leap of faith!  I remember when I first made the bold decision to move from San Antonio to Houston.  I had recently graduated from college with a decent paying job making ends meet, but I wasn’t content with my life.  I wanted a career that I’d love.  I wanted to live in a city that I’d love.  I dreamt of living in Houston one day, but was afraid of how things would turn out.  I must admit that it was one the best decision that I’ve made.  I moved to Houston and my life changed for the better.  I found a career that allowed me to travel the world, and made life-long friends in the process.  I honestly couldn’t see myself living anywhere else (one time for H-Town lol).  Although my bold move was stressful at times, I don’t regret it at all.  I like to believe that God showed me great favor in my decision, because things worked out perfectly.  I encourage you to be bold and live your life to the fullest, trusting that God will always keep you covered (and keep you at peace with your choices).  If things don’t work out the way that you’ve planned, at least you can say that you tried.  If things do work out; you will feel great knowing that you made such a bold move (and it worked out for you).  Remember that “favor ain’t fair.”  If that bold decision is meant for you, God will show you favor. So, today I am going to be more bold.  I’m going to travel to places that I’ve never seen.  I’m going to try new foods.  I’m going to get out of my comfort zone.  I’m going to live without regrets, laugh without fear of the future, and I encourage you to do the same.

Are you thinking about making a bold move in the future?  What’s blocking your decision?  What can you do to be more bold?
