Afraid of Fear

I've always been good at giving advice to others when asked. But, it seems like I am less likely to take my own advice.
Don't be afraid to take a chance!
It's something that I've to many, but have always stepped cautiously into "chance".
Why?!
Because I am "Afraid of Fear". I'm afraid of the "shoulda, coulda, woulda's, & the what if's".
So, I sit & do NOTHING!
I dumb down for jobs I know I am WAY over qualified for. I remain in friend/relationships where I know I deserve more, or better.
I DO NOTHING!
In the mean time, what happens to my life?!
NOTHING!!
It remains the same nothingness that it's always been. Not moving up or down....just STUCK!
Imagine this, if everyone who's afraid, took a chance, where do you think we'd all be?
For me, I'd probably have a career, husband, & a house in Atlanta....& able to help my family when/if needed.
For once in my life, I'm going to put the "what if's" aside & try taking a chance....
Today, I re-enrolled for school. I have to go back on Tuesday to finish up the new financial aid paperwork. School begins, for me, June 16th. I'll be going to school Monday through Thursday, from 6pm to 10pm....& still working full time.
People do it....WHY CAN'T I?!
