I've kept trying to figure out what to study/where I want to work for so long it's ridiculous.. Now I've realized my problem isn't not knowing what to study, it's not having the courage to do what I need to do!

I have no courage to be with people.. I'm so scared of embarrassing myself, of people finding out I'm really worth nothing.. But that isn't true!! I thought it was because my dad didn't love me.. But I could've been anyone, any child, and he still wouldn't have been able to - it wasn't about me, it was about him..

I am worth something.. So I can let people see me.. What's more, I can show up and be seen whether people like it or not.. I'd NEVER intentionally hurt anyone.. So even if some people don't like me, I'm still worthy - it's not dependent on anyone else accepting me.. I'm worthy just because I was born, just because I'm alive Such a relief realizing this..

ShareYourStory, You are worth an ENORMOUS amount!

I find that I want a guarantee of success before deciding on things. You can look and look for that guarantee, but it will never come. Courage is deciding on a direction without the guarantee it will work out. Courage is acting on it and believing that you are capable of correcting the course if it doesn't work out (even through it is likely it will). I need to keep telling myself that.
