In this blog post, we explore the concept of fear and how it affects our lives. Did you know that we are born with only two innate fears, falling and loud noises?

My childhood dream was to be a teacher. I thought I would be a teacher because that’s what I wanted. I did not know what it would take to become a teacher. I did not realize that I needed to go to college and to pass a state exam to teach. I surely never made a plan on how long it would take to become a teacher, nor did I know a teacher’s salary.

What IF you decided to live differently? What IF you wrote down a goal and achieved it? How would life be different?

What IF you do write it down and take daily action toward the change and you achieve what you wrote down?
IF nothing changes, nothing changes. IF you keep doing what you are doing, you are going to keep getting what you are getting.
What IF?
