Change

Dear Beautiful,

You can't live your life without experiencing change.  Sometimes change is bad, but sometimes it can be oh so delightful.  However, in order to experience this delight, you must take risks.  Make that decision, use your talents, go back to school, do what you've always been dreaming about.

Yes, it will be frightening, and your insecurities may attempt to eat you alive, but it's worth it.  This fear will be momentary in comparison to your entire lifetime.  It will decrease and as your insecurities dissipate, your confidence will grow.  You will continue on your journey towards becoming who God created you to be.

This new thing will not be perfect and you will fail at times, but taking the risk, making that choice, pursuing that dream will be so much better than settling for what's safe and comfortable.  Please don't allow your fear and desire for comfort to prevent you from becoming who God created you to be.  It isn't worth it.  Don't miss out on what He has in store for you.

Beauty Tip #4:  Make a list of your fears that you feel prevent you from becoming who God created you to be.  Write a prayer to God about these fears and ask Him if there is anything He has wanted you to do that you've been afraid of.
