Is anyone else scared to death to start over?
@pamb68 -- Well, no, I'm not. Wanna know why? Because every time I wake, it is a new day -- a new start.
I think I know what you're trying to say here, but I could be totally wrong. I like to think of every big change in my life as an opportunity to either do it better this time or screw it up royally. If I do it better, there is nothing to regret or worry about. If I screw it up royally, then I have another chance to do it better or screw it up royally.
So, think of life as being presented with a series of blank canvasses on which you get to paint something and that the results can be anything from wonderful to horrible and the odds are good that each painting will be at least the same as the last and has the real potential of being something wonderful. So, pick up the brush and get to work.
I'm on my 5th career, Funeral Director, FEMA Mass Fatality Responder, Radio Shack employee/manager, AARP Employment Specialist for the SCSEP Program and now Customer Solutions Representative for Career Source Brevard! First two were close to the same but I had never held a retail job in my life when I worked for Radio Shack. Divorce after 36 years, job lose, all new experiences and still having fun.
Yes...I was, but in doing so, I have found more than I ever thought possible! There is a kind of peace, that truly is...happiness! But, you must keep moving through the briar patche(s). And, not ‘fold up,’ because it seems so-o hard! Working ‘that hard,’ has much value! Make plans, but do not try and control all outcomes! To much control, prevents your expansion!
Somewhat. I'm not looking forward to the whole nervous feeling and the wondering if I'm making a complete fool of myself, but it's part of the journey.
Out of necessity, I've done it a couple of times. It's always scary cuz you have no idea how things will play out, it's natural to be scared when facing the unknown. Remember this, there is no courage without fear, and no true success without the possibility of failure. None have a sure or certain future or obvious path, and failure along the way will indeed follow any significant change. You control only two things, your attitude and your persistence. Use them to overcome your struggle. Good luck. ?
