Mom's Best Advice


In high school I wanted to try out for the basketball team. I loved the game but didn't have the moves. And I wasn't tight with the cool kids on the team. I sweated the decision and started to chicken out. I told myself, You don't really want to spend all your free time shooting hoops. And that's when people think that i would rather back out from anything that i am afraid of. It was a mistake. I don't have the guts to face my fears. And becoming who i am today. A girl who not known by many people and still a shy, silent type of girl. Sometimes i regret and sometimes i thank for the life i have now.

That's when Momma said, When in doubt, do the positive. Can't decide whether you should get all dressed up and go to that party? Don't know if you should "intrude" on a new neighbor with a homemade welcome cake? Worried that an old lady would find you rude for offering to help her with her grocery bags? Do the positive! Go to the party, bake the cake, help the old lady. A life of doing is better than one of regretting what you didn't dare to do.
