“Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.”
Each year, I try to make New Year’s Resolutions. They typically are something like: go to the gym, travel somewhere new, organize and de-clutter, etc. I’ve decided this year to have a mantra instead of writing a list. I have been thinking about what direction I would like my life to go and what I want to accomplish. I have been contemplating about the subject for awhile and low and behold I found a succinct answer in none other than a Dove Promises candy. Yep, the chocoholic’s fortune cookie. I need to add, I don’t normally take advice from candy wrappers but sometimes there are lucky coincidences…
This year’s mantra is:
“Be Fearless.”
For me, it’s perfect. I wouldn’t say I’m a fearful person but I have to admit, I don’t like failure. Who does? The key thing to note is all great things have come from people who were courageous enough to move past their fears, act, and keep going until they succeed. I am hoping that by making this a theme for this year I can grow as a person and as an artist. I hope that everyone can have the courage to accomplish their dreams and I think that the time is now. Even if our goals are as simple as learning a new hobby, our world will be better for it. Dare to dream. Dare to become more. Dare to become the best version of you.
What are your resolutions?

great mantra, brittany! mine for the new year is 'progress over perfection'. i can't take credit… i read it on seleta's blog. but it fits my life right now, so i'm borrowing! pam
I'll have to grab a bag of Promises and see if I get inspired… I'm only half kidding… I have had the same focus or "mantra" for a few years now. I'm ready for a new direction!
Stealing this! Brittany you are inspirational. Thanks
