In today's blog post, I want to talk about a topic that is deeply personal and relevant to me: fear. We all experience fear in different forms and at various points in our lives. Today, I find myself facing one of my biggest fears as I prepare to speak in front of a group of people about the book "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John C. Maxwell. The fear of not being knowledgeable enough and looking foolish in front of others can be paralyzing.
I can't help but recall an experience where I had to give a speech at the Non-commissioned Officers Academy. I felt completely unprepared, as the topic was a country I had never heard of before. With limited time for research, I found myself standing in front of an audience, struggling to string together coherent sentences. It was a humbling experience, to say the least.
But in moments like these, I find solace in quotes that inspire and remind us of the potential that lies beyond our fear. One particular quote that has been running through my mind is by George Addair: "Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." This quote fuels my courage, allowing me to confront my anxieties head-on and push through the barriers that hold me back.
As an entrepreneur, there are moments when I question if this path is truly meant for me. Dealing with challenges and issues with participants can be discouraging at times. However, I've had moments of self-awareness that have helped me gain perspective. I've realized that I haven't always given my business my complete and fullest attention, and growing a business requires patience.
Just as we plant a seed and wait patiently for it to sprout, I've come to understand that the process of personal and professional growth takes time. Today, a close friend referred to my current journey as a breakthrough in the making, assuring me that I'm nearing a personal breakthrough of my own. These words resonated deeply, reminding me to stay patient and trust the process.
Facing our fears requires courage, but it is through these challenges that we discover our true potential. So, let us embrace our fears, learn from our experiences, and remember that everything we've ever wanted awaits us on the other side of fear.

This is what I am facing personally right now as I fight the challenges of business ownership and public speaking.
Discovering and living in alignment with our personal values can have a profound impact on our lives. Our values serve as guiding principles that help us make decisions, set goals, and determine what truly matters to us. They give us a sense of direction and purpose.
At Transforming Life with Heidi, we believe in the power of personal values. We understand that each person has their own unique set of values that shape their perspective and choices. We encourage you to explore and define your personal values, as they can greatly influence your happiness and success.
Think about what truly matters to you in life. Is it courage, honesty, or compassion? Perhaps it's dependability, gratitude, or sustainability. There are countless values to choose from, and it's important to identify the ones that resonate with you the most.
For example, recognition can be a personal value that drives you. It's about feeling acknowledged and appreciated for your accomplishments. We understand the importance of recognition in one's journey, as it can validate and affirm our efforts.
We invite you to reflect on your own personal values. How do they show up in your daily life? Do they guide your choices and actions?

I heard a comment from a Peloton instructor the other morning which really got me thinking it went something like this I would rather be disliked for being my authentic self than be liked for being someone they want me to be. I really need to live into this statement as I have been living it backward for too long.
