I am afraid of change. However, I also embrace change. I do not like losing friends but I love gaining new ones. I don't particularly want to get a job, but I look forward to obtaining more independence (and spending money). It's mildly paradoxical, but alas, a part of life.
Recently, I joined track to help myself stay active and to exhibit to myself that I could commit to something. I went to conditioning and now I go to practice. Every day I am apprehensive for it but every day I go. Every time we sprint 400m's I think I might not be able to do any more, and then I do more. I fully comprehend that I am not even close to the skill level of the others. Yesterday I was one of the slowest. Today I may still be one of the slowest, but I'm still trying and I know I can get better. I used to quit every time things got hard. In track we are not offered that option. It has taught me a lot in these few weeks. Moral of the story is; embrace newness. Welcome challenges and unsureness and pain. That will open the door to allow in new opportunities and happiness and self-assurance.
