First signs of Fear


As I have been trying to work out my itinerary, I have become stressed and scared about how I'm going to do all this. It's a good thing I bought the plane tickets before I really thought this through. Now instead of backing out, I just have to work through it.

Deep down, I know that this will be one of the best experiences of my life.  It will definitely be the best experience of my young adult life.  I have spent the past year checking things off my bucket list such as skydiving and running a half marathon.  This trip will check off more than half of my list, and it will be so worth it. I just need to get over there.

Things I need to remember:

"Fear is the thief of dreams." 

and

"Fear is nothing more than an obstacle that stands in the way of progress. In overcoming our fears, we can move forward, stronger and wiser within ourselves."
