Some years back, I tried driving a car (although, I am not still sure I can drive one yet [hahaha]) that was my first time and I was nervous. I really wanted to have that feeling for the first time, I wanted to experience how it was when you are at the front of a car steering moving the car the way I wanted it to go.
My elder cousin had told me a night before that he was going to let me use our uncle's car to learn and get a first time experience, but he would allow me when my uncle had gone to the office.
When I heard this, I was very happy, although I was scared. I had this strange fear being the first time. But I had this excitement. {The same thing we feel when haven't tried something out}.
That night, I couldn't sleep, I couldn’t wait for the day to come quickly and at the same time I was praying the night stayed forever. My elder cousin had already told his friends to come to the house the next day, to see me drive a car for the first time and they promised not to miss it for any reason.
Soon the cock crowed and the day was bright. A very beautiful morning. I had to do some house chores and soon my uncle had gone to work.
I became sick immediately and I went to cover myself. I knew that the sickness was based on the fact that I wanted to run away from my fear. My cousin understood immediately he saw me and laughed. He forced to the car and gave me the keys. I had been receiving a whole lot of theoretical training.
When I got into the car, I realize I could move the car and it was fulfilling.
So many of us have spent our lives running away from our fears, seeing them as our biggest impossibility. One thing fear does is to make you see your weakness, it makes you see impossibilities rather than impossibilities.
You never know what you capable of doing until you give it a try.
The journey always seems impossible when you are yet to start but it becomes your favorite when you master the act.
