Reply to comment by TallBusinesssman in Fear Of Starting Something New? Here's my personal story. [Story] by vicki_davitashvili
I don't know why you're having a tough time seeing it. I'm so sorry. See if this works:
This post is inspired by my music lesson tonight.
I have always been very afraid of trying to sing, but I decided to start taking singing lessons because I knew this would challenge me, it would force me to face my fear of singing in public. And it is in this discomfort, when we're completely out of our comfort zone, that we grow the most.
Tonight, I hit a new milestone at my singing lesson. To give you perspective, when I started a few months ago, I was whispering and my music teacher couldn't get me to project a single note. Tonight, I sang into the microphone and had to face the fear of hearing my voice amplified to the point that it couldn't be masked with an instrument. I was petrified. It was so scary, but also, so rewarding.
If you're afraid to try something new, If you're facing a challenge, if you're struggling with confidence or self worth, I encourage you to embrace the fear, to love the fear, and to do the very thing that scares you the most.
On the other side of fear lies freedom. And by embracing the change, by embracing your fear, you will find that you will overcome the fear, and you just might have fun! So say yes to life! Try something new! Embrace a growth mindset! Embrace change! Embrace your fear! Say yes to life! You'll be amazed where life can take you.
Remember, you grow the most in the unknown!
