What is the medium that you’re using to share your message with the world? Did you know that all the magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone? Pushing past your comfort zone is terrifying, but sometimes that fear is the best thing you could have. You first need to understand that your existence has a purpose. You have a story that needs to be told, and you have to share that with the world. It will be tough to succeed at the beginning, but you have to keep pushing yourself to the limit and keep on doing what you love and what you’re good at so you can make an impact to the lives of others.
