Scared

I have a confession.  I am afraid of growing up.  now i do not mean this to sounds stupid but for those of you that do not know,I'm a junior in high school and at the point in life where i have to make all of my future decisions.  as far as i know, at this stage in my life I'm supposed to see myself maturing and I'm supposed to chose the rest of my life.  but the truth is, i don't feel ready to do this.   I love independence and being on my own yet, i don't see myself living on my own.  i cant wait until college, yet i can't seem to figure out which college to go to.  and i know this is probably dumb but after seeing the movie "Accepted" i can't help but wonder weather or not being rejected from every school is possible. 

I'm sure this is how most people feel before graduation but it really is starting to scare me.  I was always the type of girl who was excited for change and growing up and I was the first to say  "lets do it, it will be fun".   and now i fell like saying "what if i fail?".  I hope this passes because I'm really not the type of person who spends nights worrying.
Love Always~Sally~

Hey Sally,

PEACE.

When I was your age people said to me, "When I was your age....." :) 

The funny thing is, sometimes, the older people get the more they forget that the world is a magical place.  There are 30, 40, 50 year olds with the same confession that you have.

Live your life, truly LIVE your life everyday.  Welcome inspiration and intuition, welcome adventure.  Know that everything is possible.  Follow your inner voice and be true to yourself no matter what.  Be courageous!

Continue to be open to your divine inheritance and you may soon remember that you are indestructible ;)

Life is good,

D

HI sally,

It's the thinking of the future that kills the joy in the moment. We don't know what the future will bring.  Enjoy this day and the following days will take care of themselves. :)

I think once we embrace the unknown in our lives, we can push forward knowing that anything is possible. I read a great quote recently:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but  a habit. -Aristotle

This is very similar to what gin_0 said. We concentrate on the things that happen now, because it defines what happens later. At a certain point, you look back, and everything just seemed to fall into place.

One thing I know to be true, the feeling of growing up or not knowing the future is ongoing. Independence is the first big step, but once you are there you can be sure these feelings will return. Like Darren said, if we welcome these moments like small adventures, not challenges, our mindset is prepared for greatness.

I am in same situation as you are right now. But I am optimistic. I think it's all about how do you see your life. Depends if you look at the empty half of glass of water, or the full one. I am not sure is there is a translation of this in englishInnocent
