Long Time No See

Gosh it's been a long time blogger! I'm very sorry for neglecting you.
But I felt like writing a more serious thoughtful blog post which isn't something for Tumblr, I feel I've cheated on you a bit!

But I've been incredibly thoughtful lately, I've been thinking about being afraid to do something.
There are many events or opporunities, activities, aspirations in life which can be scary, whether it be because you think you'll fail at doing it, it won't work out well...Being scared to do something you want to do holds so many people back. Self doubt in your ability to do something, even if you don't up doing it well is something which hinders people from reaching their full potential.

For example if you enjoyed writing, as I do, but don't like getting too into any project because you're afraid it will suck you're stopping yourself from doing something which could be great. And sucking isn't such a bad thing anyway, even if it does suck at least you did it, you enjoyed doing it so there's nothing lost.

On a larger scale you may be afraid to move on from old friends, move to a new location for a job, start a fresh in life, go for a promotion, so many things in life require taking a little risk and betting on yourself, that you're capable of achiveing something and coping with it. Life is always going to throw curve balls at you and when you know something will be a positive in your life you have to do it. You'll gain and loose a lot in life and it's the beauty of the fact we get to choose what falls into those catagories that makes our lives ours. If you let fear hold you back you're not going to be doing yourself any favours.

I often get scared to do things which I know I want to do, whether it be because I don't feel I have the time, don't think I'll be any good at it, think it will be too difficult. The fact of the matter is if you don't take these risks and face those fears you will get stuck in a rut and live the same old boring life you always have, and its very likely you'll be unhappy while doing so.

So thats just a bit of what I've been thinking lately. I am going to post more on here I think. I have a lot to say.:)

Keep Smiling.
