Into The Great Unknown

Well, its up now.  Chapter 3 of "Christmas Angels".  It is on wattpad.com, under my name, Richard De Wolfe.  Give it a read and tell me what you think.  This is a new venture for me and I am hopeful.

It is very scary to put words on paper, but that pales compared to actually putting something out there for all the world to see.  Fear of failure keeps us from doing so much in life.  From an early age, we are often told by others that we are not good enough, bound to fail, foolish to try, and so many other negative things about ourselves.  It is not necessarily the case that others around us actually  want us to desist in what we are trying to do, but they are only reflecting their own self doubts when they inadvertently do this sort of thing.

Be brave, take your best shot, it is the only way to discover who you really are.  Sure, you will fall short at times, but the road to success is paved with failure.  If you never try something new, you are never likely to accomplish much.  If you fall, get back up, brush yourself off and try again.  Maybe in a new way, but try.  Life is not a dress rehearsal and you will never know what you might accomplish unless you try.
