It’s worth it, once you gather yourself and believe that you can do it – it is completely worth it. After graduating from graduate school a year ago I took a look around and decided to change things up – 2 months later I was living in Alaska. I’m still living here and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Good luck!

Here is a quote from Nelson Mandela – I love it and live by it:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Such wise words.
