My Life My Mistakes

I am not a big collector of quotes, I mean that I am not one of those people who read a book with a notebook and pen at hand ready to jot down any sentence that catches my eye. But once in a blue moon I read something that really connects with me on some level. To me it doesn't matter if the sentence is obvious or might be considered clichéd by others, only that on some level I can relate to it and that I feel that it can help me.

Last night I came across two such sentences that I felt a need to record.

'there's only one thing that you can be in life, yourself.'

'life is too short to allow fear to get in the way' 

Obvious maybe, clichéd perhaps, but I don't care, they have reached me and speak to me.

 

Life is too short for me to allow fears to stop me from living my life, I am not talking about abseiling or climbing mountains, I'm talking about not allowing fear to stop me from leaving the house. As for being myself I am finally getting to the stage where I am realising that I am the only person who can life my life, I may make decisions that my friends and family think are mistakes but they are my mistakes to make.
