MEMOIRS OF A GOAL GETTER.

If you know me...actually, if you’ve spent 3 minutes with me, you know that my biggest flaw is how dang indecisive I am. (I’m a libra, don’t blame me!) 

Where do you want to eat? Idk. What do you wanna do tonight? Idk. Do you want to go to the beach? Idk. Do you want to jump off this bridge? Idk....Ok, no, I’m kidding, I wouldn’t jump off the bridge but you catch my drift. 

Anyyyywaaay, about two years ago I was presented with the opportunity to move my life all the way across the world and continue chasing my dream of playing professional soccer. AFTER A YEAR of waiting, training my booty off, wishing, and hoping, I asked myself, “McKenna, do you want to do this?!” OBVIOUSLY I WAS ALL IN!

Hah! Just kidding again! I’d never make life that easy on myself. Before I knew it, I realized that I was just pretending to make the decision to go but when it came down to it, and things got uncomfortable, I turned away from it. I was putting off booking my flights, I wasn’t able to get a visa so I immediately thought “hm maybe this isn’t meant to be...” and I was busying myself with other things to keep my mind off it. 

Only a week before I left, I finally made the no-nonsense decision to sign up FULLY and keep moving toward my goal regardless of what BS I was going through or what doubts I had. I had to strengthen my connection with the Universe and I had to start believing in my own vision before it was even manifested. One day after I made the decision to commit to my dreams and go get it, I booked my flights, and a week later I was sitting on the plane to go to the other side of the world. 

There’s no secret here guys: if you want something badly enough and decide that you will get it, you will. The key to success and freedom is DECIDING.

If you want to accomplish something, it’s not enough to just want it. You have to be resilient, strong, and be EXCITED to be going after it. Stop making excuses or giving yourself run arounds. This goes for everything, not just your dreams. Don’t wait till you’re ‘ready’ or rich or smarter. Start now. We don’t get this lifetime again. If it’s people you love, what on earth could be more important than deciding to go after them and not turning back? If it’s learning something new, don’t get caught up in your excuses: “I don’t have time...” “This is too hard...” “I can’t”! Grow a pair and GO LEARN IT! GO CHASE IT! GO CREATE A LIFE WORTH REMEMBERING! 

Don’t get so tangled up in the silly little stuff that you miss out on enjoying and loving and living your life. Make the decision to be true to yourself and commit yourself to what you want to gain out of this precious life. It might be absolutely terrifying, but SO WHAT?! At the end of the day, it will always be worth the risk.

In the comments below I’d love to hear about a time when you took a risk and it paid off.

All my love, Kenna
