The Nitty Gritty

It's time to get down to the "nitty gritty"... I was thinking about this today and I'm going to blog about it... The Nitty Gritty..

 How difficult is it to get over our fears??? Why do we always have to be the strong one all the time?? How bad do we really feel when our confidence levels drop??? Is it easier to give up or not try so that we don't fail??? All of us go through these thoughts and many more all the time.. It's time to take off our masks and stop hiding.. Face our "nitty gritty" once and for all..

 In my life, especially now approaching week 3 of my new journey, I am feeling a little low in the confidence area.. I know that I have come this far and there is much more to go and I can't keep feeling scared about stuff that is hard for me to learn.. We all go through that... One way or another.. For me it's so frustrating to sit in class and not be able to understand how to figure a problem out.. the frustration turns into anger and you feel that you aren't good enough.. Then you start having doubts in yourself and you loose your confidence.. I know how all of that feels... I am going through it right now... I'm scared of failing, I have so much riding on this.. I can't see myself sacrificing so much to in the end fail.. After my class last night my sense of confidence went down the drain.. I guess because my (math) skills in problem solving has never been my strong suit.. I know that I need to reposition my thinking and think positive.. It's just really hard...

I know that I'm not alone in this.. Many of you out there are not facing your "nitty gritty"... You need to!!! This is the only way that your are going to see what you are made off... It's hard, and trust me you feel all alone in this journey.. The only consolation is that there are others out there just like you and me that are going through the same thing.. They just don't want to admit it.. So, they wear the mask... Facing our fears is not an easy task.. I wish that life were a lot easier than what it actually is..

Take a moment and see what's your Nitty Gritty?? Figure out if you are hiding behind something in order not to have to deal with stuff.. I can't wait to hear any stories that you guys have...
