The Day of Decision

So, this is the day of decision. This is the day that I decide that I'm going to change my life. I want to say that I'm going to be perfect, and that every goal I set will be met with success...the first time...but I know I won't. But I'm not going to let the fear of failure ruin my chances of having a full life. Today is the day that I decide to try. Today is the day that I step out and decide to live. I was trying to find a quote about fear, and overcoming fear, and how important it is, and I found a quote, which is so perfect, and it will be the "tagline" (hopefully if I can figure this durn thing out) of my blog.

I'm not sure where this journey will take me. I was trying to decide if this will be a healthy lifestyle and exercise blog, or if it will just be an everything blog...I'm not sure. I just know I want to be different. I want to be well informed. I want to find joy in many things. I don't want media and what other people say dictate my life and form my opinions. I don't want to settle for mediocre and "just fine" because it's easy. I don't want to melt into the background, afraid to leave my mark. I wasn't made to be mediocre. I was made to be extraordinary. I was made to lead. And finally, I think...I know...I'm going to take hold of my life.

What I think this ultimately means for me, is that I'm going to let go of my life. It means that I am going to believe in love, and not fear. It means that I'm going to dive in, and when my arms get weary and my legs feel like lead, I will know that there is someone else who will move my arms, and help me tread. It also means, that I'm going to choose life over fear. Those days that I think I want to give up. Those days that I will feel weak and afraid. Those days where it just seems too hard. It's in those days, that I hope I will remember this quote:

"Only when we are no longer afraid, do we begin to live." Dorothy Thompson

I want to live. I want to live to the fullest. I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd. Today.

This. is the Day of Decision.
