One phrase... YOLO.
Ok, when this first hit the airways/main stream, I hated it. Don't get me wrong, I still do. If you think of it though, it's kind of a good way to look at life.
The only reason I bring this up is because a fellow coworker has been saying it to me a lot lately. It's kind of a running joke now since he knows I hate it. However, it kind of fits with how I am trying to evolve you might say.
All my life I have been fearful. Scared of what others thought of me. Scared of failing. Scared of being hurt. Well guess what. It's life. You will have people talk shit about you. You will fail at something... maybe more than one thing. You will be hurt. Hurt by friends. Hurt by people you love. But you can't let that stop you from living life. Life continues through the pain, but it's what you learn and how you grow from those experiences that guide us through the journey.
Starting today, I am deciding to look at life in YOLO style. I only live once. I will not hide away from what I fear because then I am letting my fear win. I will take chances, and so far, those chances have led to spectacular experiences!
So thank you "YOLO" for pushing me to take chances. I think things are getting brighter already.
