dare to be bold
i've been thinking about the creative spirit, but perhaps even beyond that, i'm thinking about passion. people who have passion for an endeavour, whether it's their job, or something creative - like music or art or writing. or a hobby or sport. i know a lot of people who seem to have such passion for what they do. and i think it shows in the result. i know people who are passionate about their career, and they're successful. i know people who are passionate about a sport, and they're successful. i know people who are passionate about pottery, or writing. and they're successful. and you don't need to look very hard to find musicians who are passionate about their music.
they're not afraid to fail. they're not afraid to make mistakes. and they don't care what people think, because it's their passion, and they love doing it. they take chances, they put themselves out there. and i admire this.
personally, i'm afraid to take chances. i'm afraid to fail.
so maybe it's a personality thing. i wonder if i am capable of this kind of passion. i wonder if i just haven't found something to be passionate about yet... or maybe i am passionate about things, i just don't recognize it.
it seems like i'm just too concerned with what other people will think, and i'm too afraid of upsetting anyone. one of my biggest fears is that people won't like me. people with passion, they just don't seem to care...
it's time to take chances, it's time to be bold...

The fact that you are concerned about this is proof that you are a very passionate person. I also know for a fact that you have more of an ability to put yourself out there than you think!
you can't see the personal forest for the trees. passion is the ability to savor things. You enjoy the journey and aren't concerned so much with the destination, you see the beauty in a crooked tree,a leaf floating in the pond and your own musings. as someone once told me, "I don't like to lable things, it alters expectations" or somthing like that.
