I met so many amazing people and got to speak to and coach a different demographic than I\\u2019m used to. And while having lunch and random conversations with so many of these people throughout the week, I realized that we\\u2019re all the same, and we\\u2019re all tested at one time or another.\\xa0\\n Never be ashamed of your dreams or the thing you want to do the most. There will always be tests along the way that test your faith. And while they\\u2019re often super uncomfortable, they are 100% necessary to help you realize your dreams. Instead of giving up, say \\u201cbring it!\\u201d This is your faith practice. It\\u2019s digging in your heels, being scared, and not feeling good \\u2013 and moving forward anyway. After all how can you be tested if you\\u2019re not experiencing it?\\n \\u201cIt\\u2019s OK to be afraid, but it\\u2019s not OK to give up."\\xa0\\n So lean in. Experience it. Let time help you work through it. Your faith is tested by often extreme measures. Learn how to support yourself through it. Who can you call? Can you pray, meditate or read a book? What keeps that faith alive? Just as you would study or prepare for a test, you must prepare (not avoid) the tests that come up around your dream.\\n \\u201cDon\\u2019t resist the test, prepare for it \\u2013 it\\u2019s how you pass.\\u201d\\n These tests will strengthen you and help refine what you\\u2019re meant to do. Stop avoiding them.\\n \\u201cYou don\\u2019t get better or get the reward unless you keep showing up \\u2013 no matter the result.\\u201d\\n So keep showing up. Let go where you can and know that you\\u2019re not alone. Something beautiful is just around the corner. Are you ready for it?\\n \\xa0\\n Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook'
