I don’t want to make this sound like getting into a nasty car wreck is a good thing… but if it’s shown me anything, it’s just to stop being nervous about crap, and in reality, it’s probably the most difficult thing to do.

But when it comes down to it, what stands between you and what you want? Money? Status? A wall? More than likely the answer for that is fear. Fear of the unknown is flat out the most common fear. Some call it being “nervous.” In your mind, you want to do something, but you just don’t know what’s going to happen when you do it, so you take, or try to take some sort of safe way out, most likely embarrassing yourself.

So, what do you do? Nike said it best and most simply: JUST DO IT. But, why should you just go ahead and risk it? Why not? is a better question. Let’s do a quick example… cause I’m sure this can be explained better that way.

Let’s say that you’ve got a thing for someone you see at least once a week. You can talk to them, but you just are too nervous to. Well, why not? Worst case scenario: you talk to them, they don’t share a mutual feeling toward you, they don’t know how to take it like a mature person, and they ignore you for the rest of your life. Let’s just say, for example, this happens… ask yourself, are you going to be alive tomorrow? Rationally, are you going to find someone else to chase? Of course! Don’t hold yourself back, take what you deserve from life, don’t cheap yourself out of good moments that you might regret later on in life.

If you ever need a good pep talk, that always works, too… feel free to hit me up if you ever need one.
