Today

Lately I have been thinking a lot. Thinking about getting on track, choices, decisions, directions... to be honest the list goes on. The truth is I am scared like many people who live their lives in fear. Scared of making the decisions that will lead us to shape and develop our lives. I guess the stupid truth is, I’m sometimes scared to move forward, to live.

We are meant to grab life with both hands and live without regret, challenge our fears and go forward resisting looking back. Well I hate to admit it, but I live in fear of these things. There is so much I want from life that sometimes I feel nervous and un-easy when things happen. Things that feel right scare me the most. I almost fear more as I grow.

The trouble with having it all, is the fall can be so much greater.

My Nan lived her life in fear. She worried about our family, whether it be a trip abroad or getting home safely and giving her 3 rings to let her know we’re safe. Her life was her family and her fear was us, our well being, happiness and health.

We are a world of worry. Life has become all about worries. Money, health, terrorists and education. People have various suggestions as to what cures these worries and some will turn to Prozac or a shrink. But instead of trying to ignore them or blame them on various people, perhaps it's time to face them?

I think the key is to accept our fears. Understand that there are some things we really aren't in control of no matter how hard we fight to keep control. We can't always win but we are never losers. Live everyday and more importantly makesure you live.

All we can really do is work along side our fears. Understand them and work hard for what we want in career and life. Be good and be the best we can be. Be nice. If we do fall, learn and grow even taller. Turn those fears into something positive.

Fall in love. Love. Remember. Miss.

We are meant to grab life with two hands, but who says we should stop there. There is so much we are capable of when we put our minds too it. What are we really scared of? Failure? What’s so wrong with trying again?

I'm still scared, but I’m ok with that. It drives me to push harder.

Today is the day. Sometimes we should stop worrying about tomorrow. I need to listen to my own advice.

Today.
