Follow-through habits for serial quitters | How to find the courage to do anything

I'm a dreamer. 
I dream of these amazing ideas (or so I think) then find myself starting projects that are never completed. 

I've been a fan of Marie Forleo for a few years now.
Every tuesday I'm so excited to see what new video she has to share.
They are always filled with amazing advice that is helping me to create a business and life I love.
 I usually watch her new video every tuesday as soon as it's uploaded. 
Today I found myself feeling discouraged and needing a confidence booster 
so I re-watched a few videos.

I'm in the process of starting a few new projects (I'll be sharing those in a future post). But I could already feel the momentum slipping away. I ran for my laptop because I knew Marie would tell me exactly what I needed to hear. No sugar coating it, just straight to the point sound advice.

The first video I watched was "Follow-Through Habits For Serial Quitters".

"Creative success means balancing your love of starting things 

with the habit of finishing them" -Marie Forleo

Once I watched this video I was super excited again. I wanted to take the first few steps she mentioned in the video to start new creative habits.

I thought to myself, 

"Do you think this is a huge task to try to accomplish on your own? 

Are you sure you can do it? 

What if I get bored and never finish.

What happens if I suck, and what happens if I fail?

How can I start a new project when I have a 5 year old AND I'm pregnant?"

I started to think to myself, how can I do this?

HOW?

Then I realized I just watch a video a fews weeks ago, explaining exactly how I was going to do it. So I ran back to the laptop, went to youtube and found the perfect video to put these fears at bay.

It was perfectly titled, "How to find the courage to do anything."

I hit play and listened to Maire as she helped to melt my fears away.

I regret the things I didn't do when I had the chance."-Unknown (Via Marie Forleo)

Thanks Maire! 

That was exactly what I needed to hear.

I'd love to hear from you.

REVIEW | Hunt Club Farm (Halloween Series Part 2)

Zaire was so excited to go trick-or-treating at Hunt Club Farm's Annual Halloween event.

This was our first time visiting the Virginia Beach farm, and it was worth the visit.

It was very inexpensive, and had events for both children and adults.

There were hay rides, a petting zoo, carnival rides, food, vendor tables,

a pumpkin patch, pony rides, and so much more.

They had so many animals we didn't have enough time to visit all of them because Zaire was having so much fun. We saw pigs, goats, bunnies, chickens, turkeys, and a cage with beautiful birds including an albino peacock. 

Zaire had a ball on the playground.

He didn't want to leave. 

I'm looking forward to this becoming a Carter Family Tradition.
