Three Quote Challenge: 3

I’ve been so lazy the last few days, I haven’t even managed to look at my own blog! I’m pretty much over the Thanksgiving food coma now so I figured I had better start catching up around here. I had started this 3 Quote Challenge last week, but if you have been paying attention, you’ll notice I only made it to Quote #2.

Here’s #3…

Yeah! I really DO believe that one and I TRY to act like it. BUT, things just keep getting in the way. Yeah, things like bills mostly. Things like fears more importantly.

Somehow I need to find a way to get rid of my fears (of how to pay the bills, of what might happen if I just GO- pack it all up and leave!). Could I get mugged? Could I lose my stuff? Could I be physically attacked? What if I get stuck in a bad place? With bad people? What options do I have if I don’t have plenty of money? How can I possibly support myself in a foreign country? Will I be able to renew my license (to work) if I leave? How?

Yeah, I really do think of stuff like that (and more). I have to admit, those thoughts, more than anything else, is what is keeping me here. I’m sure things can’t be as bad as I worry myself about in my mind. After all, there are thousands of people wandering the world, doing just the kinds of things I want to do.

I want to travel. I want to see the world. I want to sail. I want to SAIL around the world! I want to explore, to learn new languages, to meet new people, to try new foods, to really get to know a place. I want to spend more time being creative, reading, writing, painting, photographing, playing music, singing, playing.

I just need to get over my fears and just DO IT! Anybody have any suggestions?

Here’s my second post in the Three Quote Challenge. I almost missed it, having another lazy day not doing much.

It’s a simple challenge. Just post a quote for 3 days and invite 3 bloggers to play along. I didn’t exactly follow that second rule, but I figured by inviting everyone who wants to get involved, there would be at least 3.

I asked yesterday for people to link back here so I could see their quotes, but so far nobody has taken me up on it. 🙁

I got this in my email from pensitivity101, I’ve been following her for a while now. She lives aboard a little riverboat over in Britain with her husband and their dog. I like to read about how they manage to handle the living arrangements on their boat.

I don’t usually do these challenges either, but I do collect quotes so I figured what the hell, this one might be fun.

The rules are:

  1. Post 3 quotes over the next 3 days.
  2. Invite 3 bloggers each time to continue the challenge.                                                                                                                                                                                                              

That’s one of my all time favorite quotes. I even have it posted on my refrigerator. I think it’s one of those things that keeps me banging my head against the wall trying to FIX things here instead of just saying “the hell with it all, they asked for this, let them suffer their mistakes”. 🙁

I had a hard time thinking of 3 bloggers I could be sure would like to play this game. So I’ll copy pensitivity101s idea:”my invitees are anyone who wishes to participate”. So, I am not going to limit this to only 3 bloggers, anyone who wants to, feel free to join in! Please link back to me so I can see your quotes. 🙂
