Courage!

This semester I have been trying to be more bold in living my life! I started pretty small: being more honest, not being afraid to ask questions at my new job, and finding inspiration to be courageous in everyday things.

Then I got a little bigger, and decided that when the Avett Brothers come to do a show in Lincoln in April, I'm going to try to get the article that the Daily Nebraskan will do so I can interview them (even though phone interviews scare me, and phone interviews with fantastic musicians scare me even more).

And then I got even bigger by turning in my study abroad papers even though three of my closest friends would be studying abroad the semester after I do, meaning I wouldn't see them for an entire year. It's kind of intimidating, and it's a lot scary, but I'm excited for what the rest of the year holds!

Here's some of the latest inspiration I've acquired: 

In case you can't read it: "Today is never too late to be brand new."

"Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage, and I promise you: something great will come out of it." 

Rachel and I posted this quote on the chalkboard we pasted to our door. It's supposed to remind us to do great things!

If the President of the United States (who is pretty much my hero) can stand up in front of the world and sing an Al Greene song at the podium, I think I can muster up a little courage to do the boring, every day things. 

Hope everyone is having a great week!
