Get Out There
How do you know you won't like something unless you try it? I know fear of failure used to hold me back. Over the past year God has helped me realize that He has created many things for us to enjoy, and He gives us our own personalities for a reason. Everyone is unique, so it takes time to get to know them... but it's worth it! The most important thing in life, besides God, are people. So why not get out and meet them?
Meeting New People
There are so many places to meet people. There are cool websites that connect people with common interests, like hiking or biking, or you can meet people online. Personally, I like to go out and meet people in person. I recently started country dancing! I never knew I could have so much fun. I'm getting to know some great people, and am glad that I summoned the courage to go to the free dance lessons... am I a great dancer? Not yet, but I hope to be! Who knows? Try something new and exciting, and you might just meet someone who shares the same passion.
Learn to Laugh at Yourself
Still afraid to try something new and different? Learn to be light-hearted. I've learned to laugh at myself when I make a silly mistake. I enjoy it when people laugh with me! It's also good to not take things too personally, because life is too short to worry about it.
