Better Sorry than Safe

I have tried to live my life with the motto of "Better Sorry than Safe" or "No regrets". I have always thought that there is nothing worse than to think back on something and wonder what could have happened. I try to 'do'. I'm a doer. Especially if someone tells me I can't do something. Don't get me wrong, I'm just like every other warm blooded american that has a healthy 'will to live' complex. But 'living' is more to me than just breathing and going day by day in relative comfort. You need to get out of that comfort zone. And for me, its difficult most days. I am considerably shy, and I have that lazy gene in me that would rather sit at home and watch tv than be outside and getting into trouble. But I force myself. And in the end I feel like it was worth it....most days....
And I am extremely bad at continuing to do things that I am not naturally good at. Things I have to learn to get proficient.

I really want to learn a martial art. Jen and I have been talking about it for months. But I keep getting in this slump.
It will be hard.
It will be humiliating at times (since we will be in a kids class, probably with parents around)
It will be physically demanding, and time consuming.

Deep down though, I think it would be an amazing experience. One that I could share with my great friend.

I just have to force myself to do it. Get off my ass and do something worthwhile.
Just do it Melody.
Just do it.


Hehe.
