hustle + flow

"Enter the fray. Step in, get messy, work it out from there. Just enter. "
-Sarah Wilson

I've learned that spending too much time on the idea of setting goals can be very restricting at times. Since high school and throughout college, I've been a very big goal person. I think in certain circumstances it's a great thing to apply but since I've been out of college, flow has been more on my mind. When you are building a life for yourself and still trying to figure out WHAT in life it is that you want, I've been finding it harder to sit down and write concrete goals.

So now I think a lot about embracing chaos, because when you are new at anything, it can certainly feel like chaos. But I think it's a beautiful chaos because once you get over that hump of making PLANS and actually doing, it's liberating. So liberating. I find myself still hesitant to start new ventures because of my lack of knowledge or experience sometimes, but once you get into the thick of things and realize there isn't any turning back and the only way to get better is to push forward, you feel the growth... and I love that.

Once you throw yourself into it, you have the possibility of failing, but the greatest lessons are in failing. You rarely ever stop to think about what you could have done better when you're 'winning'.

So FLOW is my thing. I believe in having a vision of where you want to be/feel, I believe in having direction but letting the rest flow freely from that.
