Overcoming Fears

As I look through my life every week for my Passion Blog, I’ve been trying to pick things that I want to do or experiences that I want to have. Shockingly, it has been harder than I’ve thought. It’s tough to really think about what I want to do and see.  So, I took to Google and tried to see what other people put on their bucket list. I guess that I wanted to find the craziest thing and maybe become inspired to think of a crazy goal of my own.

The thing is, I didn’t find anything crazy. Well, I did. But what I decided that I want to talk about this week is something that most five years old have done: do a cartwheel. I have never been able to do one and my friends always joke about it. It’s frustrating because it is something so simple that I have always held myself back from. I’ve become caught up in the fear  or just letting go and doing it; I guess that I’ve always thought that I would fall and break my neck or something like that. I’m sure that it is more dangerous to drive a car or even walk across the street, but I do those. Irrational? Yes. But I can’t help it.

So, question of the week: do you have irrational fears that you wish you could get over? Something simple that most people can do but, for whatever reason, you can’t?  Some fears are easier to get over then others. I’m also afraid of taking my garbage out at night but I don’t plan at changing that any time soon. But this I think that I can change. My goal for the summer is to learn how to do a cartwheel (as you can tell, I’ll have plenty of time on my hands). If you see me next falls in any type of cast or neck brace, you’ll know why.
