Be Brave Enough

I never imagined that I would feel so afraid of striking out on my own. I suppose I have seen enough people fail at their attempts, that it only stands to reason. So, I keep reminding myself that trying and failing is better than never trying at all. And one failure does not equal total failure. This is a journey, not an end destination. So, I am giving myself permission to be brave enough. Be brave enough to stick my toe in that water. Be brave enough to put myself out there. Be brave enough to share what I know I am good at. No one expects me to be any braver than that.
