Do you ever feel like you’re holding yourself back? Like you’re living a version of your life that’s smaller than what you’re capable of? If so, you’re not alone. So many of us fall into the trap of “playing it safe,” thinking it’s easier or less stressful. But is it really?
Here’s the truth: staying small might feel comfortable, but it’s not fulfilling. It’s not fun. And it’s definitely not the way to create a life you’re excited about.
So how do we stop settling? It starts with asking the right questions:
- What do I really want?
- What’s stopping me from going for it?
- What small step can I take today to get closer to my dreams?
When you start answering these questions honestly, you begin to see where you’ve been holding yourself back—and where you can start stepping forward.
It doesn’t have to be a giant leap. Progress happens one step at a time. The key is to start, even if it feels uncomfortable. Because the discomfort of growth is so much better than the discomfort of regret.
So ask yourself: What if I stopped playing small? What would my life look like if I fully went for it?
