Today I started something that terrifies me to no end. Today, I started a job application.
Now, I have no idea if I am qualified for this job. I don't know if I stand a chance at getting this job, I don't even know if I want this job. But for some reason I need this job.
The moment I saw there was an opening I knew. I knew I at least had to apply, I had to throw myself off that cliff, even if I don't have wings.
Not a lot makes people feel this way anymore, but when you find an experience, an idea, a thought that makes you want to sing and throw up at the same time - go for it. Grab that feeling and use it as a parachute if you fall. Grab that feeling and let it help you grow wings, you might fly.
So much of the world will tell you to be practical, stay with your feet on the ground. A plethora of voices will scream at you to embrace your fear and let it weigh you down...but those voices are always there. They aren't rare or hard to find, don't hold onto them.
No! Hold tight to your hope, hold onto your nerves, and your excitement. Let your happiness fill you, because at least, if even for a moment you will have been happy. There's nothing worse than knowing you could have had joy and letting it pass you by, don't watch it leave. Embrace it. Consume it.
Today I started something that scares the hell out of me and I have never been more excited to witness the end.
