Take A Chance | Quote Wednesday

Photo edited by August Weekend. Original

After chatting with Wild Hearts + Green Tea about the amazing quotes she posted, it inspired me to introduce the first series of my blog: Quote Wednesday. My posting schedule thus far has been Wednesday & Fridays. I like the idea of having Fashion Fridays and then saving Wednesdays for something unrelated to style. So now, sometimes Wednesdays will showcase a favourite quote of mine. I hope that you'll come to look forward to Quote Wednesdays here on August Weekend!

"If you've never been in over your head, how will you know how tall you are?" As soon as I heard someone say this it hit me like a tonne of bricks. It was basically one of those situations where your mind had been filled with so many unanswered questions and all of a sudden there was one group of words just shining a light on all the answers. That seems rather convoluted... what I'm trying to say is that lately as I grow my business and my career I've been trying to figure out what choices to make. After hearing these words I realized that life is so full of fear and risks and wondering if we're ready for certain obstacles — we're so busy worrying about these things that we forget about the fact that we won't know if we can do it until we try.


Not everything will turn out perfectly but I'm a firm believer that every experience, successful or not, is a learning lesson. It's hard for me, so hard, to take that step towards the edge of the unknown but with this quote in my pocket it serves as a reminder that you're in unchartered land - you never know how great you might fair in the wilderness.

I hope you all have a great rest of the week. Share a quote that you're loving at the moment, let's inspire each other.

Ps. Let's ignore the fact that it's Thursday. I'm filming nights at the moment and my schedule is a little mixed up!
