A glimpse of me
Life is too short to just wonder ‘what if’. Our minds are constantly firing signals (right/wrong, true/false) and by default we always tend towards predicting the worst case scenario that will stop us from doing.  

Finding myself growing out of my mistakes in the past, helped me realize the importance of improving self doubt, and understanding that ‘fear’, is really just a word, a default signal that’s been empowered by society, constantly telling us “Don’t do that, you will definitely fail”. “Do this instead, that’s what ‘EVERYBODY’ is doing”. I do not enjoy failure, but I seek the reason for why I failed and enjoy the process of climbing back up and do it again.

One of my favorite quotes from Bruce Lee: “Be water my friend”, water can be many forms and shapes, I believe we are capable of been water and forever changing and coping with challenges if we change the ‘What if’ to ‘Lets Try it’; and if we fail, we try it again.
