…knowing exactly who I wanted to be in life. I could describe in vivid detail how I wanted my future home to look like, the trips I wanted to take, and even the career path I wanted to carve for myself. I knew the end product, I just didn't know how to get there.
I had tried everything, from adding new habits and attending conferences to scooping up any book in the personal development aisle at Barnes and Noble. Yet no matter what, I'd still end up rewriting the same New Year's Resolution list because I hadn't changed a thing.
So I had to make a choice: Do I reluctantly thrive on the traditional path or do I take a risk now to create a life I love?
I choose the latter... and that's how A Bit of Bravado was born. A blog dedicated to empowering young adults who want to make their boldest dreams a reality by mastering high performance skills.
Why high performance? Because surface level self-help resources may help you do a new habit for a few days or weeks, but learning high performance skills will help that habit become second nature for sustainable and long lasting success.
To me, the word Bravado means having the audacity to believe in yourself so much that it looks unrealistic to others. It's taking messy, imperfect, and courageous actions towards your dreams today so that you can look back and be proud of yourself tomorrow. It is realizing that you get to choose how you write the story of your life, so you want to make it a good one.
Your dreams are not too big. Your goals are not too unrealistic. Your vision is not too complicated. Other's sights are just too small.
My motto is "Live a life without 'What if's'", so you never have to wonder who you could've been in this lifetime. Take a chance, stay consistent, and the rest will follow. I can't wait to see who you become.
