If you’re never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances ~ Julia Soul
How true is that? I believe that if we don’t take chances, we lose out on all that this life has to offer. It reminds me of the Garth Brooks song, Standing Outside the Fire. I love that song (which I know I’ve mentioned here before). If we stand outside of that fire and we never jump in, we’ll never know all the wonderful things that are possible. Don’t ya think?
If I live my life in fear of being rejected or in fear of being hurt, I short change myself on all the possibilities that are open to me. I can be very shy and introverted at times and that’s when I’m feeling scared or hurt and don’t want to get hurt even more. I tend to be that way with my relationships with men mostly. My girlfriends rarely see that introverted, shy side of me. But put me around a man I’m interested in? OY VEY!
I’ve had so many issues with men in my life. Either from my own doing or from theirs, it’s amazing I keep trying. But again, I’m a firm believer that if I do not take a chance, I’ll never know. And I personally would rather have 30 minutes of happiness than a lifetime of misery. I heard something similar to that in a movie and it’s stuck with me for years.
Did I mention my arms hurt and they are bruised and scratched up. The left one is even a little swollen from climbing that brick wall yesterday. GAH! I won’t be doing that again anytime soon. Trust me on that
