When it comes to the future...

Can you guys keep a secret?  One of my goals for Little Hibachi is to be able to rent a gallery space and have a show of my own original work.  For people looking from the outside in, that seems bold, and it is.  The idea scares and excites me, which has caused me to think about these two seemingly opposing feelings a lot.  After much contemplation I've decided that feeling both scared and excited is probably the best combination of feelings you can have when taking on a new endeavor.

So many of us want certainty.  I know I do!  We want definite answers and we are plagued by the anxiety of what the future holds, but there aren't any answers, folks!  The best we can do is follow our hearts and I think as long as we're a little scared and a lot excited about what could happen then that is an indicator that we are on the right track.

Just think about when you watch a scary movie.  Part of the fun of it is being scared, being taken by surprise.  The same goes for thrill seekers jumping out of planes or taking off on roller coasters.  I am not a fan of roller coasters myself.  I try so hard to hold on and not lose control, but if I could just learn to let myself go and let excitement overtake me, I would probably really enjoy them.

I know things might not seem great and you might be feeling scared and uncertain, but I ask you to sit and think for just a moment and contemplate on recognizing that you are scared, but also allowing yourself to be a little excited too.
