A couple hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success: 'Never leave that till tomorrow,' he said,' which you can do today.' This is the man who discovered electricity. You'd think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection. Sometimes, the fear is just of making a decision. Because, what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?
today is... well boring. all my friends are out of town and doing other things, so i'm home. haha. but tonight i'm going to go see a play like thing with some friends, which is really nice, cause i haven't hung out with them in a while.
anyways, as for the quote, well, we all put off doing things cause we're scared of pain, scared of rejection, etc. but i am a strong believer in just doing it. be spontaneous. it might hurt. it might hurt alot. but, in the end, it'll all work out just the way it is supposed to happen. there is a plan to our lives and no matter what we do it's going to end up working out anyways. so why not go out on a limb, expand your comfort zone, and just have fun? we're only young once, and we need to do everything we can to make it the best ever. that's my goal for this week: to do something i haven't done before, to go out on a limb and do something i wouldn't have normally done. have a great evening! :)
love, me
