Fear Less in Your Potential

Change is hard.

Change starts out as a whisper, softly speaking into your ear urging you in subtle ways of what your true heart desires.

Once you start listening and becoming open to what your heart speaks to you, change comes knocking on your mind’s door demanding you to take action.

What is holding you back from unlocking the door to what your heart is telling you to change?

Is it fear?

Yes! Fear of the unknown. Fear of the what if’s. Fear of failure, even fear of being successful.

Fear is all about self-preservation, the status quo. When you allow fear to control you, it tells if you do anything differently, you will be hurt, you will fail, you will have insurmountable losses. Its only the mind keeping you stagnant and holding you back from the pursuit of what you want.

Now, what if you saw change differently?

What if there were many opportunities and possibilities out there for you directly in line with what you dreamed for yourself, your family, your friends?

Making the change to do what you know is right for you is not going to be easy. But where is the reward when you accomplish your goals if it were easy?

Life is about taking healthy risks to get you closer to what you want and how you want your life to look. Those dreams are important and totally within your reach.

Are your goals, more money?

Healthier and happier relationships?

Career or lifestyle change?

Now, is the time in taking the first steps towards your goals and making the change you want in your life.

Start by saying “yes” to you. Yes, you believe in yourself and you want the best out of life.

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Brought Home a Dog

Hindsight is always 20/20. Some nuggets of information sharing with likeminded folks or pet professional who were say to find and not just in my local area, would be the icing on the cake.

But, Facebook was definitely not like what it is now and sharing information is no easier than ever.

Since I learned by flying by the seat of my pants, I want you to be better prepared and not struggle like I did.

I also want you to know you’re definitely not alone if everything isn’t unicorns and butterflies when you bring your new dog home.

1. Dog Trainer: Hiring a dog trainer, is on the top of the list (not just because I am on:)), it’s because a dog transitioning into your house, you and your dog will need time to adjust and become more comfortable with one another.

Also, a great way of preventing those unwanted behaviors BEFORE they become a problems.

It’s important for you and your dog to start off on the right foot. Hiring a positive reinforcement trainer will for sure set you up for success.

2. Dog Food: All dog food is not created equally, that’s for sure. Finding how dog food compares with each other is important. In addition, I didn’t even think about recalls on dog food until I found out about www.dogfoodadvisor.com.

Make this website a reference tool for you as you consider all types of dog food.

One last bit on dog food, if you like reading, Dog Food Logic by Linda Case will definitely turn your head on the dog food business.

3. Car Seatbelts: When I think about this now, I’m like “duh” why didn’t I think of this earlier. I mean, seatbelts keep you safe, why not have this in place for your dog too.

There are different varieties, I do like the ones that clip into the seatbelt itself. You can feel secure your dog will be protected if you get into a car accident.

Note: If you give treats int he car-make sure they are big enough to not get stuck in between the care seat lol.

4. Car Seat Covers: These will protect your car’s fabric from nail marks or dirt and wetness. Some even have the option of having a front seat divider which will help keep your pets in the back.

You won’t have that problem if you follow #2.

5. Either purchasing pet insurance or creating a fund for pet care needs: Visits to the veterinarians are expensive I know you all want the best for your dogs, so feel secure knowing you have money set aside or get reimbursed through your pet insurance when accidents or illness happens.

An added thought, for those who are always moving due to the military, especially relocating overseas, pet transport is not covered (currently)with travel orders.

What this means for you, make sure you have funds to cover the cost of travel and required relocation expenses for your dogs. They are family and can move with you!
