Abort mission. ABORT MISSION!!

We always do that don't we? We get outside of our comfort zone and we quit. Inside of this "comfort zone", we'll talk and smile about all the thing le you're not afraid to do only to blink when we step one foot out of our bubble of "comfiness". 

Not like it matters to other people because a lot of them smile when we blink and cower away. Not like their opinions carry much weight to you anyways, right? So why let their words of discouragement down? Why be "comfortable" when you know that all great people stepped up and said, "It hurts. I don't know anything in this area. This is too hard... I love it". See, it's the challenge that makes human beings able to discover things like electricity, internet, medicine to help people grow older. It's the challenges that have helped us come from inventing the wheel to looking into the cure for cancer. 

So why did you give up when you were just slightly uncomfortable in the unknown? A new genre you're trying to expand into, teaching yourself a new language with no real support, learning a new skill like cooking, starting to go to the gym for that body you so desperately want. Whatever it is that you're trying to do. Do it. Because when all the doubters ask how you're doing with that twisted, judgemental grins on their face, you can respond, "Tres Bon. Et toi?"

It's on you. Your failures reflect you, not them. Then again, it's failure if you give up. So don't give up. Keep moving forward. Keep your chin up and walk with that smile, knowing that you're giving it everything you have to discover what you're capable of even when everyone else thinks they've figured it out.

So what are you waiting for? Time to get to work.
