Go After What You Want—Fearlessly
When I was a little girl, I loved my Big Wheel. Yeah thats me in that picture! That thing took me everywhere. One day, I told my mom I was going to my grandma’s house, which was just down the road. I stopped by, grabbed an RC from her fridge, and then decided… why stop there? I wanted to visit my friend Danielle.
The only problem? She lived about five miles away. But that didn’t stop me. At just five years old, I hopped on my Big Wheel and took off down country roads, completely fearless. When I showed up at Danielle’s house, she was surprised—but not as surprised as her mom, who immediately called mine and said, “Guess who just showed up in her big wheel?”
To be surprised, I look back and the thing I laugh about the most is I’m surprised those plastic wheels made it that far!
The thing is, when we’re kids, we don’t overthink. We don’t let fear hold us back. We see what we want, and we go after it. But somewhere along the way, we grow up, and fear creeps in. We worry about what people will say. We second-guess ourselves. And sometimes, that stops us from chasing the things we really want.
So, here’s my challenge to you: tap into your inner child. Stop overthinking. Stop letting fear keep you stuck. Go after what you want—not because you have the perfect plan, but because you know it’s where you’re meant to go. The journey is where the magic happens.
Who’s ready to ride?
