Can I tell you about what I’ve been learning lately, maybe over the past 6 months? Cool. Let’s get into some real talk.

I am slowly-but-surely learning that you don’t have to like and/or be good at only one thing. You don’t have to pigeon hole yourself into ‘being’ only one type of person. This is the biggest thing I am figuring out for myself in both my professional life and healthy-lifestyle life. Do everything. Try everything. Be anything. Do more than one thing. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t be afraid to walk away from a steady job to pursue a scarier-but-more-fulfilling dream. Don’t be afraid to be a lot of things at once. A photographer and a swim coach? Do it. (my life) A freelance web designer and a cake baker? That is amazing. You can work in retail and own a small business at the same time. One year you can be a dental hygienist and the next year you can be blogging your way through Europe. You can be a runner and a swimmer, you don’t have to pick just one. One day you can love biking, but another day you can love yoga, and that is totally ok.

It’s all up to you. You do what makes you happy. There is no right answer. You do what makes you smile. You do what makes you want to keep doing whatever you’re doing. This is what I’m learning.
