Just Do It

So this week, I've had a lot of experiences that have led me to think that after a while, you've got to remove abandon all of your fears, and just do it.

What is IT? Well this well for me this week, IT was talking to someone who looked like they were crying.

Weird, I know, but I have this problem... I can't walk past someone who is crying without wondering why it is that they're crying. Happy...sad...hungry... I just want to know why. Curiosity? Nosiness? Either way that's just they way that I am. So I saw a person crying, and I wanted to say something, but I thought... "No, that's just too weird, they have no idea who I am and it's really none of my business", so I didn't say anything. Two days later, same person, crying again... "Ok, I should probably say something... but how? how do I explain my ultimately stalker-like behaviour?"

I honestly fought with myself for about 30 minutes, and I just felt so uneasy that I decided to lay all of my fears away, and JUST DO IT.

So I went up to this person (extremely awkwardly) and didn't mention the crying... I started a conversation with them. So you're wondering if I made a life changing contribution to this person's life. Umm no. They weren't even crying. Apparently its SNIFFLE season and everyone sounds like they're crying.

So do I feel silly? Like I wasted my time? Like I embarrassed myself for no reason? Not at all I actually sat down and laughed to myself at the situation, wondering why I had been so prompted to talk to this person who clearly didn't need anything from me.

I realised that it was a lesson in just letting go of fears and apprehensions, and finding the strength in myself to JUST DO IT. So I wanted to share that. Our ITs are going to be different. And obviously there are good ITs and bad ITs... we probably shouldn't do the bad ones.

But you'll recognize the good ones. You won't be able to shake it. AT ALL. And that's when you know.

JUST DO IT.
