      Hi livgracex3 🙂

      Yes, all the time! But I enjoy it, because when you push yourself outside your comfort zone, you feel quite proud when you manage it. In that picture on my profile, I was jumping off a rock into the river. I really hate heights, so that was terrifying (my face says it all!!). I was proud to do that one, but I didn’t manage to do the higher rock above it – that was a step too far!

      I used to be quite a quiet. shy person when I was younger, but by pushing myself over the years to try new things, I have learned to be more confident 🙂

      It’s super-cheesy, but there’s a nice quote about courage from Nelson Mandela: “courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear”.
