I have always been great at making lists, setting goals, and knowing what I need to do to fulfill my goals. It is the following through that I have not always been so great at. One thing I have learned through the trials and tribulations of the past couple years is that no one, NO ONE, will cross these items off my list except myself. Never will I be comfortable with taking risks or being rejected, but I am also not comfortable with letting these fears win.

It may seem silly, but one of my goals was to enter graphic design contests. There is the fear that I will not win or even come close, but at the heart of the matter is the fear of rejection. I need to get over this fear (it is a pretty ridiculous fear), so I finally bit the bullet and entered a contest. I don't expect to win, but I am happy I finally took the step to do it. On to the next one...

(If I do win, maybe I will share my designs)
