Getting Up My Nerve

You know how sometimes you want to do or say something that would require you to step outside of your comfort zone and really put yourself out there?

It always starts with taking a deep breath and just going for it, whether it's physical, like grabbing onto a zip line and flying or emotional, like crossing a room full of strangers to introduce yourself to someone who attracts you and you'd love to meet.

On the other hand, life is a process and what I lack today I may discover in myself in the future.

I'm usually a pretty nervy person so there's hope for taking that deep breath and just doing it.
