The fear factor

Recently, I read that the best, most thrilling, life defining, and memorable moments in our lives are the times when we are the most scared. That is certainly true my case!

My favorite memories are of times when I was petrified of something... but then looking back, after having survived the ordeal, I get a this sense of elation because I lived to tell about it.

I'm tired of going about my life playing it safe, worrying about the "what ifs"... Lately I've been too successful at avoiding humiliation, pain, rejectionand even failure. I think I'm ready to take some risks, make some memories and create some stories worth telling. After all... the bigger the risk the better the payoff.
