You are totally right. The only way to find out who you truly are is by pushing yourself. I also started actively looking for "scary" things to do a while back, which took me to a parachuting school. Now I am a licensed skydiver and my life has not been the same ever since. But I couldn't have found my passion for the sport if I hadn't overcome my fear first.
I like the way you think. Subscribed and looking forward for more :)
Wow Fnx01, what a journey! I truly believe that when we do those little "scary" things out of inspiration or better said, from a strong gut feeling, they lead us to new paths that otherwise we couldn't have reached. Great story and congrats on your new career!
