“Twenty years from now, you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than the ones you did.”
~Mark Twain

These past five years, I have done things I never thought I would do. I took chances, tried radical new things, defied the people around me who said I couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t.

This last year alone, I have done things I never dreamed I would do – things that I can’t even share with you. If you would have told me less than a year ago I would be doing some of these things, I would have cringed and laughed in your face. Not me. Nope. I’m a sissy girl.

But guess what? No matter how far out of my comfort zone I have gone (and trust me – I left the comfort zone miles ago), I can unequivocally say that I am still alive. I have survived. All the things that used to scare me that I have now done have…not…killed…me.

Imagine that.

Maybe our fears are only designed to hold us back?

Unless it’s illegal or dangerous…what do you really have to lose?  Take a chance very now and then…Be creative – gutsy – bold.

In 20 years, don’t look back at your life in disappointment. Look back at your life with a giggle. And  blush.

Onward.
