So, there is this girl, she is 20 something, keeps herself to herself and has a dream. For her, this dream is a pretty big deal, but she is really scared of what might happen if she pursues it. She knows it won’t come easy, but there is this very real fear of failure, its funny but she even fears any success that might come her way. If she fails she needs a new dream, if she succeeds, what will she have to give up, what challenges are waiting for her? These are just a few of her questions.

This girl… she sees how other people have made a real success of their lives, it’s inspired her to make a go of her life. She hasn’t been living, she has merely existed, always taking the easy option and now, now she knows that something has to change. If there are so many successful people out there, who have followed their dreams, lived their lives, people who live with no regrets, who faced the fear, why can’t she be one of them!? She knows she has some real potential and so do the people around her.

Just existing is not an option anymore, years have been wasted, always doing what others expected of her, having no real passion for anything she ever did because it wasn’t what she wanted to do. It is a new year and its time for a change, a sense of urgency has awoken in her and she cannot fight it, she has a life and it needs to be lived. Starting today.
