Thoughts on Fear

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face… you must do the thing which you think you cannot do. 
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

My mom called me chicken shit.... yeah. my mom. She loves me. hahahahha

But she was pretty much really right.

I had an opportunity to do some photography. I had already committed to something else and I thought I would have to make a choice... 1) A chance to learn photography from someone experienced or 2) taking on a photography assignment that I've never done before. Jumping into unknown territory, uncharted waters (by me that is) and learn as I go.

Well in the end I didn't have to make that decision as it fell through but to be honest I don't think I would have done it, chosen the unknown.... why? because I am chicken shit..... ha!

Okay so I've decided I get to look fear in the face and do that which I think I cannot do.  To start doing things that scare the crap out of me.

More on that to come later. I've decided to start a new project that forces me to stretch and step out of my comfort zone. eeeek!

  2. So, are you going to do things like skydiving and such? Or are we sticking with photography? ;) I am right there with you though... I am scared to try new things. In the end I find that when I do... most times it ends up being A LOT easier than I anticipated. Good for you!

  3. Dani, it's not quite as exciting or adventurous as sky diving. But I think it's exciting. :) It's a photo project.
