Today I really felt like I needed to talk about the overwhelming task of making life choices. 

Recently I have reached the point in my life which requires me to decide where I want to study for university and what I want to do there. If you have never been through this this yourself let me tell you, it feels like the make or break point for your entire life. It is the most difficult and terrifying thing I have ever had to do and I have never had to put so much trust in my 'gut feeling' before. 

There are so many decisions we have to make throughout our lives. School classes, college, university, a career, where to live, who to marry, when to start a family; there will never come a point when you don't have to make a choice and after the past few months the best advice I have to give is this: follow your heart. 

Sometimes what you dream of seems un-achievable, frightening, confusing, unclear, complicated, and altogether impossible, but in the end you have to trust that your heart knows you best. 

I knew that playing it safe wasn't going to make me happy but I was scared to take a risk and I still am scared to take a risk but I'm doing my best to remember this quote...

'If not now, then when? If not me, then who?' 

We only get one chance to be on this earth and there is no point in living a life filled with regrets. If doing what you need to do to make you happy means taking a risk, then take it. If it all goes wrong you can try again and I promise you more doors will open. Never limit yourself, live your dreams because only you can make them come true. It's okay to have fears but don't let them stop you. 

Be brave. Dream big. Say yes.
