This morning I was talking to my roommate about her public speaking class. She had to write a speech about a topic that could be debated. She chose to do it on the fact that she believes that you have to put yourself out there with the risk of looking ridiculous in order for you to get anywhere in life. This got me thinking, and then, as I looked up at the mirror in our bathroom, I saw a quote that I had put on there about a week earlier. It said: "If you're not willing to look stupid, nothing great is ever going to happen to you".
I am a complete advocate of this statement. Especially after how some events these last couple of days panned out. But we won't get into that. :) Anyways, I've heard this a lot. Especially within the beauty industry. They've always said if you want to make it big, you have to jump through hoops, maybe embarrass yourself a little. It can end one of two ways. Either you succeed, and reach your goals, or you "fail", learn your lesson, and do better the next time. Right? That is more than not told to us at school by people who've been in the industry for years. It's not easy, but it will eventually be worth it, even if we have to look a little stupid at some times.
This applies to MUCH more than just the beauty industry though, let's be real. Whether it be school, a career, a relationship, you name it. That's just the way things are, no matter what. I feel like it makes life a little more fun though. If everyone got to where they wanted to go with ease, where would be the fun in that? Where would be the growth and the excitement? It wouldn't be there. We as humans, were put on this earth to progress. Constantly. We never reach a point in our lives where we're just set for the rest of our lives. We are constantly growing, and learning, and experiencing new things because that's how things were meant to be. That is God's plan for every one of us. That is how awesome life is supposed to be. So great, right?! :)
