Any advice for me?

Hey guys! I feel like this is the only place I can really spill my guts.

Right now I am kinda sorta chasing my life. Trying to find out if what I think my dream job really my dream or just a fantasy. I sorta have a game plan but I just cant seem to set it in to motion.

I suppose its because I would really have to put myself out there and go for it.
Also it would take me outta my comfort zone and pretty much have me leave everything I know behind.

I know we are supposed to take that leap and go for it cause it will be better in the end or at least I would have some answers to my questions. But I am scared.

Well thanks for reading this. I needed to get this out.

Don't think too much. Just go for it. Better to fail than to live in regret.

Thanks! I know, I was just starting to get a headache.
I end up thinking way to much and making things in to a bigger deal then they need to me and in the end I end up depressed and not happy at all.
I hate that I do that and don't even know how to stop it.

How is it we are our own worst enemy?

I have a fear of stepping out as well, and I know it is holding me back, and I get so frustrated with myself because of it. I know that I will never be a man as long as I continue to shelter myself within the dimension of my comfort zone. All I can say is take small steps in the process of taking that leap in life. Challenge yourself, as I should challenge myself, to do what is not convenient, until it gets easier, naturally.

There have been several dreams and jobs I have pursued and failed at and none of these failures worsened my depression or lowered my self esteem. Those things were there way before I even entered the workforce. I finally found something I am succeeding in, and it was worth it to make that leap despite the doubts and fear. As long as failure won't cause irreversible life consequences, I say go for your dreams! When you suffer from depression and anxiety, every little victory helps.

Very glad to read this!
I wish more people realized the immense importance of taking action and getting shit done!
Good job, keep hustling!

Yes taking small steps is the first step to get anywhere. You got it so right with the challenging oneself. It is easier said then done. I keep track of all the small positive accomplishments I've made and look back at them when I am feeling like I have failed.

Thank you so much for leaving this comment! I am glad to hear that trying something and failing something doesn't mean the earth is ending. I haven't had much experience in trying stuff and failing cause of the fear of the unknown really stops me before I get started. Glad to hear that you found something you enjoy!
