Can?

Can someone make a change? I mean, a big external change (that should help the inside as well in the long run). The kind of change that requires new skill sets, a new way of living, a different lifestyle. Can someone actually and truly follow their dreams?

History would certainly say "yes". History is littered with those who have. In fact, much of history is made by exactly those people; the people who have made a difference in the lives of others, not just their own... whether by inspiring or giving an example or exploring or by seeking.

Starting again, starting over... finding a new path to walk down can be daunting. Knowing where you want the path to lead helps a bit but it does not help the nerves to calm much.

What if I fail? At least I tried? What happens when you try but you don't make it? Do you try again based on what you now know... or do you give up? I guess the only way to answer these questions is to go ahead and give it a shot.

Give it a shot. I wish I had the courage to do some of the things I want to. Actually, only thing I still need to do is learn how to be more approachable to women that I am attracted to.

I admit I am afraid of failing.

Smiling and saying "hello" can go a long way. :)

I have done that already. I just don't know how to approach the next step with confidence. I need work on that.
