Optimism on Life

Recently I've had a life changing realization. Now you see a few months ago I was in a state of what I can only describe as despair about how my life was going. I would think "I'm almost 23 and really haven't done anything with my life." This state of mind lead me to start dreaming of things I've always wanted to do but was to scared to do anything with. I was always thinking "I'm not good enough," or "Why should I even try, nothing will come of it." This was the state of mind I was in when i had this realization. This realization was that I will never do anything if I don't try. So I decided to slowly change how I viewed my life. This was the hard part, it will, of course always be hard to change the way you view your life. I decided then and there I need to be more optimistic. So here I am changing my life for the better, I've changed my major in school back to a major that I really wanted but thought I couldn't do it. I'm starting this blog, the one thing I've been wanting to try for years but always thought no one would care. I decided who cares I need to do these things that I've always wanted to do. I need to have the courage to do things for me and no one else. I've been inspired to change my life so I can always be happy and never wonder what if. After always being a downer  about myself this change has brought out a whole new person. I've been told I'm so much more fun to be around and that I seem more confident. Who wouldn't want to feel this way? Now I wonder how I even managed to live the way I did before.

I guess what anyone can take away from this is, if you don't like the way your life is going, you have the power to change it. You will never know if you don't try, so try something new, and help your self become the you, you were always meant to be.
