    At one point I thought that my sociology was just what I ended up choosing in order to graduate from college to avoid disappointing my parents. What was I supposed to do with a sociology degree? I mean I liked the classes and what I learned about human behavior and society in general, but what kind of jobs would I be able to apply for? I didn't think my degree would take me place or give me a life of luxury. Not until recently, after opening my own business, did I realize that my sociology degree set a strong foundation for everything I've accomplished thus far.

    FEAR unfortunately will stop us from doing most of what will bring us the biggest joy in our lives. Fear is a good thing. It's supposed to keep us safe, but too many times we will also let it keep us from trying to do something different, new, or exciting. Don't let fear keep you from exploring new things and ideas. There's incredible things waiting for you on the other side of fear :)   Thank you for sharing this podcast! It means the world to me. God bless!
