Go for It!

If you want something, go for it. Think of the most ideal thing that could possibly result from your decision to go for it, but also think about the worst thing that could happen.

You never know what will happen unless you go out there and TRY. If it works out, wonderful. If not, oh well. The point is that you TRIED.  Sure, getting your hopes up a bit too much and having them come falling down is difficult. But times like these are truly the ones that help make you into a stronger person--and it is my hope that, if this ever happens to you, it makes you more determined to TRY again.

One thing that traveling on my own taught me, was to be more self-driven. I learned that I cannot always depend on other people, so it's up to me to make the most out of situations/my life. I learned to have that "go for it" attitude. Right now in my life, there is something that I want to do, that hasn't exactly been done--but I'm trying to make it happen. The worst that could happen is that I get a "no" response, which I would be okay with. If I got a "yes" response, it would totally be awesome! The way I looked at the situation was this: I would never know if I didn't ask.

You only have one life. LIVE IT UP. When I say that, I don't mean to go out and do things that would be destructive to yourself, things, or others. But if there is somewhere you want to go, something you want to learn, something you want to do--go there, learn it, do it. As they say in the song, "YOLO." You only live once.
