Welcome To My Blog!

Sunlight - Modestep Dance (by Th4tGuy)

Am I not enough, or is there someone out there who's right for me just the way I am?

It's a trick question. I ask that question because I am afraid. The real question is how do I combat my deepest fears?

FDR knew exactly what he was talking about when he delivered his famous quote, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Of the seven deadly sins, fear is believed to be the root of all of them, and that is why they say fear is the root of all evil. This is why courage is one of the most valuable traits you will ever find in another person, but it's also one of the most difficult things to achieve.

So how do we achieve it?

First ask yourself, what would you do if you had no fear?

Let this question guide you in everything you do. It's not about apathy, the ignorance of fear, it's about identifying your fears and facing up to them. The rest will take care of itself. To quote the sci-fi book Dune, "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Facing your fear is the first step to greatness, but identifying your fears and standing up to them can be extremely difficult. Fears can change and grow so the fight against them may be a life-long process. I am the cowardly lion but there is no magic in this world to grant me my courage. That is left up to me.

What am I afraid of?

I am afraid of becoming my father. I am afraid of inadequacy. I am afraid of the place where the future and the unknown overlap.

I will not let these fears dictate my thoughts or behavior.

I will strive for a courageous soul.

"Where have you been?" is what you've surely been wondering for days now. Well I've been busy, so calm down and get off my case, Gosh!

This coming weekend will be conference for track and field, and I've been so incredibly pumped that I couldn't write anything until right now for some reason. Oh yea, another thing, I do track and I'm a hurdler and yea.

Hello my numerous followers and welcome! You've managed to stumble across my blog which I like to call "Welcome To My Humble Blog Of Incredibleness!" but which shall hence forth be referred to as simply "Welcome To My Blog!"

I know what you're thinking. "Where am I and what's going on?"

Well Elizabeth, I have no idea where you are, but I can help explain what exactly is going down. Now I know some of you forgot to have attention spans, so I've compiled a variety of answers numbering exactly 2: a not very long version and a summary of that version.

(Long Version) I have created WTMB! based on the illusion that I have any free time at all. I plan to keep the re-posts minimal, as this blog will be based on my own extremely eventful and entertaining life. You may be asking yourself, "wtfs this guy derp?" and let me just say, yes. You see, this blog is part of a contest of sorts between 4 or 5 friends to see who can create the best blog. I will attempt to procure the footage of this eventful moment in blog history for my next post. Until then, sit tight, audience, and don't forget to feed your spirit animals.
