It's ok to not have the answer. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is boldly embrace the unknown. Accept your fears. All fear is manageable. When fear is not managed and tuned into fuel and fire, it leads to doubt, hesitation, and procrastination. Fear will play tricks on you and make you think that you're not ready. Courageous people feel fear too; they just embrace it and use it to fuel them. Fear is contagious, but so is courage. Continue to move forward. A clear mission does not always have a clear path.

We all go through difficult times in our lives, and no one's experiences and pain should be compared with others. With these dark times come thoughts and actions that are not to be overlooked. Today, I'm bearing my soul a bit so that you can know you are not alone, you are valued, and you can get through this and get to brighter days.

Often, I have found the three most challenging words to speak are, "I need help." But I will have you consider the possibility of a life filled with people willing to help, lend support, motivate you, and believe in who you are as a human being, as well as having even more people in your life that are just rooting for you and want the best for you. Receiving the help and boost from all of these people in your life begins with willingness to let your ego rest, be humbled, swallow your pride, and say the words: I need help.

Why is determination essential for success? Simple, no one's coming to save you. Life doesn't stop for you. It keeps coming at you, day after day after day. You have a simple decision to make. Live a life of truth, or live a life of lies. Honesty is what is needed to go after what you want. Once the truth is told, determination is required to go get it.

There is a strong connection between all the primary domains in your life: faith, family, fitness, and finances. When one of those domains is weak, it affects all the other areas.
