Take the fear out of your rear and just go with it…..

Why allow fear to get in your way of conquering the unknown.  Have you ever had such a fondness for something and never had the guts to do it once you were actually faced with an opportunity? Or, have you had a grand interest in a subject matter, yet never taken the available time to attack it?

What is fear? Is it a tiny indication of confidence lacked there of? I have to imagine so, even if in the slightest.  Are you best accompanied with confidence in the presence & support of another?  If so, then why not use this and gain over all strength of doing what you set out for by not allowing fear to weigh over you.  Of course you may choose to just tackle your task head on in solitude, after all self-perseverance is extremely rewarding.

If you can’t sing, do karaoke.   You can’t dance, start by wiggling your hips out in public, hell do it while shopping at Wal-Mart(this is much fun)…who cares if people are looking; most likely they are cheering you on with your ability to just be. You want a new hair style but you're just not too sure with your features, do it anyway, hair grows back.  You want to lose weight, make it happen, start sweating.  If you are interested in art, pick up a pencil & sketch pad and go to town.   People are rude to you, jump back with a fantastic smile & a cheery “how are you today” and move on...never fret or fray & allow it to ruin your day (I felt the need for a rhyme).  You’re afraid of speaking in front of a crowd; find an opportunity to do it anyway.  You are in the process of learning & conquering & a teacher or pear gives opportunity to share what you have grasped, never be the last to hold up your hand & certainly do not bale at sharing even if you end up being last to go…because that would just be lame.  The best perspective is if you end up looking silly, “so what!”  At least you’ve added a bit of cheer to someone’s day, hopefully including yourself.  After all, if you can’t laugh at yourself then you must not be the best of company….lighten up and take not, yourself too seriously.

It’s ok to be cautious but what better way than to prove to yourself that you can take on a challenge and even meet others along the way & learn from one another.

In simplifying things, “the biggest consequence of fear is missed opportunities.”
