When it comes to the things we love to do, we often wait on others to go along. And when they are not available, we hesitate, we are scared, and we stay home. When your friends don’t have time, or when you don’t have the right people to something with that you want to do, then do it alone. Take a chance and go. You are guaranteed to meet others eventually who have the same passion as you and will accompany you on your journey.

We made the decision to move forward, but something pulls us back. We are wavering, reconsidering, contemplating about going back. Because the past is known and the future is scary.
