Facing My Fear - Canada Ep 1 | #TravelVlog

October 02, 2017


So begins the story of our week long family vacation to Canada.

CANADA EPISODE 1- FACING MY FEAR

I recently heard on a podcast series that we fear the things we do not understand. (ie: Many people are afraid of snakes because they don't understand how they can slither across the floor). For me, that's airplanes. I just simply don't understand how something as massive and heavy as an airplane can get off the ground, and stay off the ground for that long. I read up on the science behind it, but still. It just doesn't make sense to me. 

Life in my early twenties often feels like this airplane ride. Just as I'm getting ready for my life's take off, fear seems to be the first to greet me.

Ready... Set...WOAH. hold on. What? No way. How? Are you sure? 

Fear: The thing that hinders that first step forward into your destiny, your purpose, your calling. 

If you want to get to your destination, you need to have the courage to face your fears.

DEAR RECENT GRADS WHO DON'T HAVE IT FIGURED OUT YET

DEAR RECENT GRADS WHO DON'T HAVE IT FIGURED OUT YET.... "Identity doesn't get found. It emerges." This is something that stood out to me from the book, "The Start-Up of You," written by Reid Hoffman, the cofounder and Chairman of LinkedIn, and Ben Casnocha. I think there is pressure for a lot of us in our early twenties to "find our identity" and to have our career plans all mapped for the next 10 years. After I graduated from college, I was desperately searching for the answer to what type of career, which position, and which company can best form my identity. However, we need to remember, as the book states, that we are always on constant beta mode. Who we are now is not the final product and our identity in the workforce doesn't get found and stays the same forever; it *emerges* as our skills, networks, and the opportunities around us constantly shift and grow. The question is, are we ready to pivot with the new opportunities and are we bold enough to take the next step forward? For anyone feeling quite lost, it's okay to not know where you want to be 5 years, 10 years from now. The world is volatile and changing faster now than ever. It's OKAY to not have everything figured out. Just be nimble to shift and ride the big waves as changes and new opportunities come your way. 👌#thestartupofyou #careeradvice #recentgradproblems #earlytwenties #parkscanada
