the nerves...

After a recent event that had me feeling big butterflies, some stress, and quite a few nerves… that ended up being an absolutely amazing experience and night, it hit met again:

There aren’t too many amazing, memorable, inspiring moments in our lives that are not proceeded by butterflies, nerves, sleepless nights, pits in our stomach, a little stress, a little anxiety, a little trepidation? Right?

We generally don’t get to choose. Like Brené Brown once said, we can’t selectively numb our emotions - we get them all or we get none of them.

If we want amazing experiences, look for butterflies and nerves.
If we don’t have any nerves or butterflies, well… chances are slim for amazing experiences in the near future.

The best news? Feeling nerves? Awesome! Something amazing is most likely around the corner.
