On of the problems I had with my marriage, was not being able to do what I wanted, without the criticism. Sometimes, my ideas are a little out there...a little crazy...a little bit outside the box. Isn't that what life is all about?Well, after the divorce, I made a promise to myself. Do things! Do things that you want to...things that are outside the box but look like fun. Do things you never thought you would enjoy. Just get out there and do something.
Well, I agreed to go Paintball this weekend. Ok, it was cold, I got there late, and spent more time waiting to get into the game than actually playing the game. I was excited...I enjoyed it, even though the actually 'fun' only lasted a few mins. Right now, I can't wait till it warms up so I can go back again...and REALLY enjoy myself.
To honor myself...I chose to say Yes to Life. Yes to living life and not being afraid, and not allowing the voice of others (or the one inside my head) to keep me from doing anything. I spent way to many years letting the negative words (or possible fear) of other people keep me from living every moment of life to the fullest. No more. I made a promise to myself.
I will be back to paintball again. Next time I will be prepared. No more getting tagged out 3 mins after the start. I will be a warrior...because I plan to enjoy ever single moment.
Very cool!
