Today went well for me and i just can't help but think about stuff that happened earlier today. I went to a skating rink for the first time in my life and, for some odd reason, i decided that i'd try to rollerskate. It was easy to get the skates n wear them but then i remembered the sign at the door, "Skate at your own risk", and it wasn't just one sign i'd seen. i thought of all the bad things that could possibly happen if i made an attempt to stand in those rollerskates and i'm sure it was a lot harder in my mind than in real life. i thought of all the people that'd laugh at me (like they have time), more importantly, i remembered that i would need health insurance (n that's quite expensive), just in case i'd break a couple of my precious bones. The mind is a powerful thing. i spent all my time at the rink thinking what a bad idea it'ld be to skate so i really didn't get to do it. I guess there were some other people who learned to skate for the first time today at the place and while they actually tried, i may be left wondering how different things would be if i had tried. This happens everytime when we let our own minds see defeat before we encounter a new experience. I'd love to do things before concluding that i'll fail. Most times, it's all in our minds.
