Don't sell yourself short. <br /><br />How many people can say that they took a risk and went after what they really wanted in life?...Not many!<br /><br />One of my favorite inspirational quotes and one that I try to live by even if I'm terrified of the unknown is: <br /><br />“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”- Ralph W Sockman <br /><br />AND he was born in Ohio so that's something. I've met and Ohioan or two that have been very wise! ;)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490948417335172598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33028137.post-54724105952445153432012-04-16T09:59:07.846-07:002012-04-16T09:59:07.846-07:00I think you have actually made some profound chang...I think you have actually made some profound changes in the past year. You were on the road to getting out more and exploring before last April, but you have really stepped it up. The trip to San Diego where you went out to watch the game by yourself, going out to parties/wine club taking in a variety of cultural events in LA and the spur-of-the-moment trips to Santa Barbara are pretty significant changes. <br /><br />The biggest change, however, is saying out loud what you want! For so long, your answer was "I don't know what I want." We always said you couldn't get there if you didn't know what "there" looked like. Now you do. It may not be easy. There may not be a direct route, but knowing the destination will allow you to find your way.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839024800084948740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33028137.post-70362633777436584992012-04-16T09:50:55.996-07:002012-04-16T09:50:55.996-07:00Specificity is good.

Technically he got to do just that. But it's one thing to be happy writing but quite another to make a living at it-- or make a living at writing exactly what you want to write. Maybe we should be more specific.danielletbdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324997315228538430noreply@blogger.com
