UNICORN BARK

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup blueberries

1 mango, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

3-4 strawberries, diced into 1/2-inch cubes to make 1/2 cup

3 cups Greek yogurt

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons raw unsweetened coconut

DIRECTIONS

Place blueberries, mango, and strawberries in their own microwave-safe bowls and microwave individually for 90 seconds each. Remove fruit from the microwave and use a fork to mash any remaining chunks until you obtain a smooth consistency.

Add 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon honey to each bowl of mashed fruit and mix until combined. The yogurt will take on the color of the fruit so the blueberry yogurt will be purple, the strawberry will be pink, and the mango will be yellow.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and, using a spoon or spatula, spread a layer of 1/2 of the blueberry yogurt to cover the baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space around the edges.

Take all of the strawberry yogurt and add it on top of the blueberry yogurt in 5 to 6 large sections. Take care not to fully cover the purple blueberry yogurt.

Finish by drizzling the mango yogurt and the remaining blueberry yogurt on top to make a nice assortment of colors, and then use a spoon to gently marble all of the colored yogurts together.

Top with a generous sprinkling of coconut flakes, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 2 hours. After 2 hours, remove the Unicorn Yogurt Bark from the freezer and cut into different-sized sections. Enjoy immediately, or place in a plastic container for storage in the freezer.

Embrace fear.

I was reading today, (just typing this amazes me as i haven't actually sat down and read a book in over 15 years), about the fear of ambition. There’s much to be said about this in today’s world when one is put in a setting of facing fear, or even more so, that actions of an individual when fear slowly seeps into ones mind. Do we embrace it? Fight it? Run in terror?

Now when I say "fear" I am talking about dealing with making a decision in our life that will ultimately lead to change; not the instance where you are walking to your car from the grocery store and in front of you stands a blood thirsty grizzly. The former is actually scarier than the latter. Why? Because in the situation where you face a bear you bet your ass I’ll take off running, it’s a simple solution. While the former there is much to be analyzed and dissected. Or is there?

Here's the thing people: fear is good. Fear is something that i have learned to embrace and take on full force with a smile on my face. Fear keeps me awake. It lets me know I'm alive. It keeps reminding me to move forward. Looking back on where I was compared to where I am now, it was an act of cowardice that was keeping me in the mundane life that I had. I had friends. I had a decent job. I had all the crap you needed to be comfortable and continue to run in that hamster wheel day after day . I had the fear of change, I never could accept the fact that taking that initial step out of my comfort zone would lead to a life that was so much more rewarding. when that day came, the fear struck fast and it struck HARD. Thats the thing about fear, it is not kind; it will not hesitate to strike you, nor will it give up easily. It will fight you until one of you gives up. That same moment was when i first looked fear in the eye with a smile on my face and moved forward. I drove 1200 miles east to find a life more rewarding. After a few months on the east coast fear struck again and this time it was harder than the first. I quit my job. I started a company with my fiancee. I no longer have the 9-5, the bi-weekly paycheck, the 401k, the security of benefits of a full time job. But what I do have is freedom from the hamster wheel. but who was there for the first few weeks constantly reminding me of all these things I would be losing out on? Fear will NEVER leave. Drill that shit into your head now. The quicker you learn this, the easier and more interesting your life will be. I promise you that.

Don't live in the shadow of ambition where you are simply living a life of avoiding risk. Step away from that shit and create your own light. All of you reading this know whole heartedly that you have something to give to this planet, yet are continuously making excuses as to why you can't take the risk to go after it and make a life what you want it to be.

Remember: fear is cancerous. It gives fruition to regret and disappointment.

Embrace. Conquer. Move forward.
