I’m a big believer in taking a moment for introspection, and when intriguing questions pop up, I like to reach for my journal and embark on a journey of self-discovery. One such question that’s been running through my mind is, “What is the best advice you have ever received?”
The Advice
Now, the advice that instantly comes to me is short, sweet, and oh-so-powerful: “Grab it and growl.” Picture the moment when my mom’s friend, the legendary Marty, uttered those words while we sat on her large veranda. I was wrestling with a major life decision (aren’t they all?), and she looked at me with unwavering confidence and said, “Grab it and growl!”
In essence, it’s like saying, “Leap into the unknown with all your might!” And you know what? I did just that.
Making Change
Before you raise an eyebrow, let me assure you that it’s not about recklessness or impulsiveness. When a significant change is on the horizon, I get strategic, chart out a thoughtful plan, and dig deep to understand how prepared I am. I get specific about my goals, identify the path to stay accountable, and determine the perfect time to start. It’s all about creating a blueprint for success.
But here’s the kicker: It all begins with a feeling, a knowing that comes from within. Call it a gut feeling, an intuition, or the voice of your heart—it doesn’t like to be ignored. When that inner compass aligns, it’s as if the universe is nudging you in the right direction.
Grab it and growl
So, my dear friends, my best advice to you is this: Trust and believe in yourself. When life throws exciting opportunities your way, and you feel that undeniable pull from within, don’t let fear hold you back. Embrace the adventure, seize the moment, and “Grab it and growl.”
Remember, it’s your unique journey, and what works for you might not work for someone else—and that’s perfectly okay! Just like the world’s colorful palette, we all have our ways of making our dreams come true.
Embracing Change
So, whether it’s chasing your dream job, starting a passion project, or embarking on an unforgettable adventure, let the mantra “Grab it and growl” be your guiding light. Take that leap, dance with the unknown, and discover the magic that lies beyond your comfort zone.
With unwavering courage and an adventurous spirit, you’ll unlock new horizons, create unforgettable memories, and find the joy of living life to the fullest. You can change your story.
