And so I cannot discredit myself for every  accomplishment, win, or success (big or small) I've had along the way. After all,

"We are all works in progress."

It's still a long way to go but maybe a few things I've learned and still learning at 31:

1. It's okay not to have it all figured out.

We learn as we go along. So let go of the things that you can't control and move forward. Keep moving.

2. You don't always have to take charge--and that's okay because God is. He always is.

Guess I've always been so obsessed about taking charge of my life (again)--or so I thought and felt. But life happens--detours, mistakes, and, bad decisions and really, that's how you learn, grow, and get better.

3. "You have to revel in the now." 

Stop worrying so much about the future and live for today because, tomorrow is not/never promised.

4. Find what you love and stick to it.

You don't have to be an expert or perfect in your craft, but you have to love what you do and yes, "it has to find you working (too)."

5. Do not give up.

"It's difficult until it's done" and yes there's so much you can do outside fear so take a leap of faith. Take that first step (even with the 'nerves' or with your knees shaking).
