Go Back
I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection.
Sometimes, the fear is just of making a decision.
Because, what if you're wrong❓ What if you're making a mistake you can't undo❓What if you get hurt❓
It hurts to tear that bandage off. We don't wanna see what's underneath. But maybe it's not the fear of the pain that holds us back. Maybe, we're really afraid to see if the wound underneath is still open, or if it might actually be healing.
Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true. That, by the time the pain of not doing a thing gets worse than the fear of doing it, it can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor.
We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our parents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometime we have to see for ourselves.
We have to make our own mistakes.
We have to learn our own lessons.
We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering.
That waking is better than sleeping 😴
And that even the biggest failure, even the worst, most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.
But you shouldn’t worry. You’ll be ok. Because you always have people around you can count on.
Thank you @tehilahouse to make my baby @cocobeauty looks pretty nice as a gift. 😘🎁🎊🎉
