Yes you can, should, and are supposed to...

What is easy for some people to do is impossible for others. Not because the others can't do it, but because they don't think they can, they should, or they are supposed to. Growing up incredibly shy, I can completely relate to this.

To a degree I woke up everyday and lived in other people's worlds. I went about my day quietly and watched other people doing the things that I wanted to be doing. While other people were standing up for themselves, I was submissive. While other people were outgoing, I stood there hoping to get asked to do something. While other proactive people were having fun and playing the game of life, I essentially stood on the sidelines and cheered them like a fan.

I'm here to tell you that you don't have to be an observer in other people's fun, instead you too can have fun too. There's nothing that makes them different from you or better than you other than the fact that you don't know that yet.

It is ok to take chances and in fact the more you take the less they actually seem like chances but rather the norm. A risk no longer becomes a risk if you are ok with all the outcomes. Don't question if you can, should, or are supposed to... the answer to those questions are yes. You are only limited by your effort.

Life can be fun for some and scary to others with the only difference being the mindset of possibilities. Having faith to make a move, take on a challenge, or speak up for yourself will change your life. It's your life, not someone else's.

The world is stage and you are the star of your own show. There is no rehearsal and no encore. It's a one person show and it's showtime. Good luck with your journey, everyone is pulling for you...
