Epiphany

I have been doing alot of thinking lately about my life, where I have been and where I am going. I do not have too many regrets, mostly I regret the things I did not do, rather than the mistakes I made. I have learned from my mistakes and actually enjoyed the process in some instances. I am coming to terms with the fact that I hold myself back. Ton of bricks? No. The realization hit me harder than that. A friend said "You are the only one stopping you" I thought I would puke all over him at that moment, but he was right.

So, my New Year's Resolutions will involve getting over myself and getting on with things. I have resolved to actually participate in the things that interest me, whether I am good at them or not. I will try not to hold myself back and I will find a way to feel better about myself and find value in the things I have done,  not only the things I have not done. I will compare my accomplishments to others' a little less. I have already started on these goals, and it has made all the difference.
