bit of courage, (tiny)

I did something that kind of scared me today. But I decided last night that I would muster up the courage and do it. And I did it. I don’t think it went quite as well as I imagined, but I did promise myself that I would focus on the fact that I went for it rather than how the events actually turned out.

To be honest, It doesn’t feel as good as I thought it would last night. But that’s ok. In my mind, logically, I think it was a good thing for me that I did it.

Trying is everything. Trying is the real exercise. Everything else is just a consequence. Trying while knowing you could embarrass yourself, or fail or get rejected, takes courage. How many things do we miss out on in life because we didn’t have a little courage? just the tiniest bit of courage was all that was needed.

Of course, just because I did this tiny thing today, doesn’t make me an expert in courage. But! I am going to, with some courage, just say that I’m proud of myself for what I did today. I’m gunna keep doing these little ‘scary’ things and overcome fear and expand my life to make the unknown, known. I won’t let it shrink and shrivel up in fear. To all the things that intimidate me! I’m coming for you!
