Ever been intimidated?? I have. Recently too.
I decided in February of this year that I was going to start a college online. Sounded cool enough, lax enough and seemed like the thing to do to further myself in life. I struggled with it costing money per month while we were trying to get debt free...but honestly, what's so bad about this debt IF I make it through and get a better job? It's a struggle I had, but I went for it.
I got through their "entrance exam" with no problems. My confidence was high. I got my first two books (they're small paperbacked books) and felt a little intimidated, but it's just butterflies I do believe. I passed those two "exams" with no real issues, but a lower grade than what I had wanted.
My second round of books showed up about the second week of February, I looked at them and got excited..then freaked out.
I just picked them BACK UP for the FIRST TIME two days ago. (It's May in case you're not paying attention to the date here lol) I passed my first books "exam" with a 92. My confidence is building back up.
I'm still scared, but I can't be intimidated anymore. It's gotten me NO WHERE in life and I'm tired of being no where.
So, my advice, take it or leave it, is to not allow fear, rejection, failure or intimidation stop you from living life FULLY. Get out there and do the very thing you've been stopping yourself from doing. I have practiced this "philosophy" in baby steps for the past couple of months and it's a freedom I am truly starting to fall in love with.
This was rantle #1 and I hope it's something you appreciate. If not, send me mail (I think that's an option you can do through here) and tell me to rantle about something you want to hear about. :) My next rantle will be about church, faith and religion. ;-)
