Hello :)

 So I was thinking....why do we sometimes fear failure? fear messing things up or letting someone down? I read a quote a long time ago... 

 "You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take"

 -Wayne Gretzky

 Pause and dwell on that for a second. Nobody likes that "Wow, I missed out" Feeling... When a friend asks, "why didn't you go?" or "why didn't you say something". We hold back and later regret it. We don't want to admit we were scared...Weather it be fear of the outcome, or someones reaction. Honesty is always the healthy option because it levels everything. I have my share of "what if" moments. Don't dwell on the past but live and LEARN :) There will be plenty of more opportunities that will come along. Moving forward and keeping that in that mind. So take the shot ;)

 Have a blessed day :)

 -Elias

    I agree with Emily, good, short post.

    My "go Anali!" motto is "Since when has Fear ever stopped you from doing anything?"

    Yes I talk to myself. lol. I told myself that when I doubled up on Science classes... I'm telling you, school messes with your head! haha
