A quote that I found one day was "Change is never painful. Only resistance to change is painful." -Buddha. Boy is that true!

I hope Buddha said that, because nowadays you never know the true source.

ANYWAYS...the point is. I am a terrible person when it comes to change.
I've held myself back from a lot because I get really scared, or I think the new change will somehow alter my existence's purpose.
After I discovered this quote I've literally repeated it to myself every time I feel the anxiety of change arise. 

It has helped more than anything I've ever tried. 

Like, I have driven for the first time 9 days ago. The anticipation of getting behind the wheel terrified me mentally; I wanted to skip out and not deal with the negative feelings I was experiencing. Then I remembered that I will never advance in life if I keep being a "chicken." I then drove 35 miles that day.
This past week I've driven probably 100 miles total. 

To my family it's like "oh finally she's working on getting her license blah blah." 

I've always wanted it but it's more than that. I actually think I can't do the things I want to. 

To me it's not really about getting my license, it's more doing the thing(s) I didn't think I could do. 

Right now that's driving.
Next I want to try getting a different job.

There's so much I want to do, I need to work on achieving them, and stop being so apprehensive about everything.

Because you know what, I'm going to die some day and none of my fears will have mattered. I just need to do something.
