My change is actually something I have learned here already but bears repeating. I refuse to be afraid of anything in 2010..or afterwards.
-Not afraid to confront adversity. -Not afraid to confront what I feel is wrong. -Not afraid to push myself out of my comfort zone. -Not afraid to challenge myself at work. -Not afraid to love again. -Not afraid of being afraid.
Ya' know, GIMA's post got me to thinkin'...I'm an ER nurse, and I give injections to (and start IV's on) kids every day. They're scared, and I tell them this...
"If you're afraid of something, that makes it hurt worse. So the best thing to do is to not be afraid of it in the first place."
I've been telling em' that for 23 years, and it mostly works.
It's just as applicable to us as it is to them!
No fear!
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
