just give it a try

had a nice conversation with a cousin a few nights ago...we talked about a lot of things...mostly about plans for the future...the conversation actually centered on taking bold steps...about doing the things you've dreamt of doing...i kind of envy her for being brave enough to abandon her regular job to try out something that she really wants...she's an account...after a few years of practicing that profession she decided to do something new...she became an artist...i think she became part of an advertising agency...then she decided to leave that job to yet again fulfill another dream...that is to become a farmer...seldom will you hear someone abandon a white collar job to become a farmer...well, she does not really do what a typical farmer does...i mean i don't think she plows the field with the help of a carabao...she has a farm where she plants tomatoes, herbs, etc...she has a helper of course...but whatever it is, i admire her for taking that risk of leaving a regular job to do farming where the future isn't really clear...for me, at least...now she has harvested tomatoes and other vegetables...and i can see she is having fun...i admire her because i've had other plans in the past that i have totally abandoned for fear that i will not succeed...i'm not really sure if i can still do those things now not because i feel too old for them but because i need my regular job because i need a steady income to provide for my father's needs...however, my cousin still believes that i should give a few of those dreams a try...she's not encouraging me to leave my job but instead she is telling me to at least try my other plans even on a part time basis...i think i can do that...or i can give some of them a try...i just need to have that courage to take the first step...oh, and i also need to remove that fear of failing...you see i've been quite successful in many of the things i've done so failing is something i'm really anxious about...but like what she said i should try...how will i know if i'm going to succeed if i do not try, right?...so...what's the first thing that i'll try to do...i don't want to say it just yet but i've already found a way to start...i saw a seminar/training that i can take to see if i will be able to do it...basta....bahala na si batman...
