If you worry too much about what other people think, you will never become the person you were meant to be... only the person you think other people want you to be. You can't please everyone and if you get in the habit of trying, it's a battle you will lose. The only way to truly be happy is to be comfortable with yourself enough to realize that you can't please everyone but you can treat everyone fairly. When it all comes down to it, the only person you have to answer to is yourself.
Decisions are a merely a comparision of pros against cons. If the reward is high enough, then you will take the risk. But what if you don't truly understand how powerful the reward is. Thinking you understand something and knowing you understand something are only seperated by a little action. The reward is usual worth the risk, but you won't realize that until you try. Take risks and value the reward... and if you don't, well at least you'll know for sure it's not your cup of tea.
Life involves growth. Challenge yourself to grow. People like what they are good at, I challenge you to work on the things that you aren't good at. When I was overweight, I challenged myself to get into shape... then worked with others to help them lose weight. When I was shy, I challenged myself to come out of my shell... and then worked with others to help them find their own value. When I feared speaking, I forced myself to speak more. When I couldn't read... I decided to write a book to help others.
There's safe roads and curved roads. Doesn't it seem like the best trails have turns? The hard work to get to the top of the uphill is rewarded by the coast downhill. When you are feeling tired or feeling down, take pride in knowing hard work gets rewarded and the pay off is usually worth it. Keep smiling everyone, it's a wonderful day.
