Scared of the unknown... why?

Tweet

Are you one of those people who are afraid to try new things? And the only reason that you can think of is that you don't know what's ahead or what to expect. I've felt that from time to time. I'm still trying to figure out why I am feeling this despite the fact that I can still consider myself as a daredevil. I get scared but, with trembling knees, I'd go out there and try it anyway. Though in the end, I knew I only gave less than 50% of me... because I was scared right from the start. The results then weren't that all satisfying. I don't really know how to start heads on--with that really confident attitude. Sometimes I think I only fake that confidence that I've always had. At times I feel bad and it puts me down. I don't know where or how I get whatever-it-is to get myself back up and still go on as if I've never fallen down. I don't know if it's guts or courage...maybe just my instincts? I don't know. Over the years, I guess I can say that I'm still grateful I did try. If there are two things I know and sure of, 1) experiences made me realize that I will never know until I try, 2) the best thing about it, whenever I feel unsatisfied, I get that feeling of wanting to try it again and again--more and more confidence each time--until I'm satisfied.
