This post doesn’t have fancy pictures. I am not telling you about some fun place or some fun thing I tried.
I am telling you to STEP UP.
Step up and be heard.
Step up and ask to play.
Step up and show the world how awesome you are.
Sometimes I feel like the girl on the play ground standing on the sidelines watching the other girls play Double Dutch. Too afraid to ask to join in. What if I’m not good enough? What if they laugh? What if I fall?
I always seem to forget that I DID actually ask to join in.
No one laughed.
I didn’t fall.
I was good enough.
The next day THEY asked ME to join in. Every afternoon during recess we Double Dutched our hearts out. Yes, I ended up falling. We all did. But we were there to pick each other up. And in the end, I made some very unique friends, entered a competition and a Double Dutch marathon for Charity.
Last night I stepped away from the wall.
I joined in.
Just. Do. It.
Why do so many of us have THAT SAME FEELING … when I am IN the group, I wonder why other people don’t join… but when I’m not “in” it’s like pulling teeth to get me to ask to join sometimes!!
A lovely reminder to just put yourself out there! :)
we are so similar in that way… you had the B*LLS to do it, hopefully one day, i’ll grow “a set” and “JUST.DO.IT” too.
btw.. you are AWESOME… so AWESOME I couldn’t even put it into words!!!
love you
xoxo
I say HELLS YEAH!!
I LOVE your no-nonsense, ‘stop whining and do it’ attitude!
