Spake ye little – listen much. ive been reading. but not writing here for a very good reason.
I commit to taking chances and not worrying about what anyone else thinks. Or at least, caring less. I commit to trusting my path, whether I “fail” or “succeed” and that Life will catch me should my wings falter. Life really does begin outside our comfort zones.
Life isn’t a dress rehearsal, it’s a one shot deal, so sign up for those guitar lessons you’ve always wanted to learn or take a Spanish class or audition to sing in the choir or act in a play or join a club or take night classes to finally get that degree. Or ask that special someone out. Or come out of the closet. Or stand up for something. Or speak out for someone.
What’s the worst that could happen? Whatever it is, it’s worth it.
Failure isn’t in not succeeding. Failure is in not trying.
Because here’s the thing: if “they’re” talking about us, then we’re important enough to be talked about. And even though that’s an ego-based consolation prize, it may be enough to let go of fear long enough to impress ourselves by going for it—whatever “it” is!
Courage is sexy! anyone who has the courage to stand up to life and not feel the need to hide. is damned sexy
