Look Before You Leap. Or don't.

I tend to be a thinker.  Which is a good, thing.  Right?

Some would say that I am an over-thinker.  I would be in that group of "some."

I look at things from every angle and contemplate all of the "what ifs," even if the "what ifs" really are "probably nevers."

I am the go-to person for "what do you think about this..." kind of questions.

And while it's good to think.  Sometimes I think that it's just that thinking that prevents me from doing.

From taking a risk.

From seeing what is in front of me and just going for it.

Sure, I might not always land exactly on my own two feet.  And it might not be graceful.

But I will land.

And scraped knees are only temporary.

It's good to think.  But it's also good to do.  To move.  To try.

To pull myself out of the "musts" and the "nevers" and just go.

And I am trying.

I am letting go of the unimportant. 

Focusing on the important. 

Letting go of stuff.

Taking risks.

Putting myself in new situations.

Not dwelling on the things I cannot fix or control.

And embracing that which I can.
