Thoughts for Thursdays - Courage

Hi Guys,

Welcome to the first Thoughts for Thursdays. A spin of the wonderful SprinkleofGlitter's Motivational Mondays.

I have decided that the first post is based around Courage.

Courage is something I have never really thought about before, I would never have said that I am not courageous but until recently I have a realised that I was not courageous at all. My worrying used to get in the way all of the time. I look at my life now and realise, yes I am courageous and not because I go cliff diving or bungee jumping or live a crazy exciting life. I am courageous because I am brave enough to do little things in life that I have always done with someone holding my hand.

Courage isn't something that's generic to everyone my reason for being courageous can be completely different to yours and your friend being courageous is completely different to both of ours. You have to do things that you never imagined yourself doing. Taking a chance, thinking to yourself what is the absolute worst thing that could happen to me if I do the thing that scares me the most? If you do it, imagine the feeling you will get once you've succeeded at doing it?

Here are some things that I have been doing recently that have made me feel courageous;

• I am so much more independent, taking myself to hairdressers alone and finding a new salon to get my eyebrows done and going on my own without someone there to hold my hand.
• Driving!!!! Oh my god did i think a year ago that I would have bought my own car and be driving myself to work, to my Boyfriends and back, I have even driven to LONDON on my own!!! That is major for me!
• Getting on a train alone to see my boyfriend and best friend when they are at uni

There is so many things which have made me realise that until recently i have never been courageous and now I am really testing myself and believing in myself. I think that's what it boils down to, having the courage to believe in YOU believe in YOUR ABILITIES! The majority of mine is down to independence, being independent is clearing more challenging for me than what i thought.

Find what scares you and push yourself this weekend.

Leave me a comment on what makes you courageous and if and when you do anything why don't you leave a comment and tell me!

I would absolutely love to know

Thanks for reading have a great weekend xxx

Introducing Drifting Rose Petal

Hi Guys!

As you may have already noticed I have changed my blog name...ooooooh controversial I know.

I felt like when I created PrettyLittleHighStreetFinds I didn't have much direction with what I wanted to do with my blog and how I wanted to attack this crazy world of blogging!

I feel like now, although I'm still sooooooo bad at posting regularly and maintaining my blog that I know what direction I would ideally like this blog to go in. I have recently bought a new laptop which by the way I am absolutely in love with! (It's an ASUS one and it looks like a mac book but a hell of a lot cheaper!! That's as technical as I get with it all i'm afraid)

I am still working on how best to tackle my Post Education series which I am so desperate to get published before September.

I think although I adore beauty and fashion and this blog post is still centred around my love for beauty blogging however I do think that my blog is going to become more of a lifestyle blog, I am better at writing about lifestyle things and I have more inspiration to create blogs based around life.

I also want to start a series called Thoughts for Thursdays. Which is my take on the lovely SprinkleOfGlitters Motivational Mondays.

So please stay tuned, i know this is again another update blog post but I wanted to update you all.

Thanks for reading, see you soon
