I Am Always Improving Myself

I'm a little stuck right now. Still trying to wiggle myself out of this trance. I only have myself to blame for my very lax attitude. It's a little hard when you get used to being one step ahead of everybody because of a privilege you were born with that when you move up the ladder where you and everybody else are on the same standing, with some even far more superior than you, you get a little dazed.

I do have to say though, it's exciting. I've always tried to hide myself and tried the best I could to work backstage and avoid disappointments. I felt jaded most of my life. But now I feel I have something to lose. I feel like I'm finally alive and I'm doing it all on my own. I feel like I can certainly be myself and test my own capabilities without preformed judgments and expectations. And now, I'm no longer afraid to disappoint people, what I'm afraid of is disappointing myself.

You seem to have the same fears as everyone else! The good news is you recognize it, and are ready to embrace it. Finally realizing that life is better when conquering fears and hinderances is a liberating feeling.

But think of this...did you really disappoint other's? Or did it always reside in your thought's only. Sure people critique, and offer guidance, but that is not disappointment in you. They see the potential, and wish to help bring it to the forefront of your abilities.

You can never feel good about something that you do not attempt, but you will always feel good about trying! Whether you can, or whether you cant...you are right!

Congratulations on emerging to a higher level!

@Resided - Thank you! You really saw right through me. Nothing would ever really come to be if I didn't try. And I cared too much about how I presented myself. I've always had that fear. I'm still adjusting but it is liberating, indeed.
