Insecurities..

I have them.

But...

I'm working on them.  I never said that I'm perfect, I'll be the first to admit that I'm far from. 

What I can say is that I am human.  I do make mistakes.  I learn from my mistakes.  I know that the only way you can advance yourself in life is to make mistakes, learn from, and make changes to not make the same mistakes again.  Mistakes help make you become a better perfect.

My grandma, before she passed away, told me... "Travis.. No one is perfect.  In fact, we're all stupid! If we were all perfect and achieved everything we had to in life, then we would no longer be in this life.  Those who have passed away have learned everything they had to learn in life.  We're still learning if we're still walking around.  That's what life is about, always learning."

Ok, so maybe that wasn't a direct quote.  Unfortunately I can't remember the exact words she used, but I do know it was right along that fact.  Those were my grandma's beliefs. I have my inner demons.  I have my worries.  But I know that I can face them, and beat them.

I stumbled on a quote the other day which kinda fits into everything...

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten."

It's fitting for this blog.  "Dragons" being a metaphorical term... you can really use your own definition in that quote and have it make sense.  In my aspect, it tells me that insecurities can be beaten.  You can move past them and become a stronger individual while doing so.

The last couple weeks have been tough, stressful and overwhelming at times for numerous different reasons.  I've done/said somethings which I wish I hadn't and my insecurities were quite prominent.  It's like everything just kind of pushed the lid off the top.  But, it happened and I'm dealing with it and I already am seeing an improvement.  Step by step.  It won't happen overnight, but where there is a will there is a way.  I am determined to kick this bug, and I won't stop till I do.  This I can promise.

I really need to give this blog more attention.  I have so much to talk about : Hawaii, Calgary, Business, etc.

...but don't let it.
