How to go bowling
How I did it: I didn't really think about it, I just did it. Rounded up my two teenage kids and said come on, let's go bowling. I was nervous because I didn't want strangers watching me make a fool of myself! But I finally thought, who cares? I don't know these people so what difference does it make what they think of me? I am not doing this to impress them, I am doing this for me. So I took me and my ball (and my 16 year old daughter for tips and moral support) up there and let her rip. Knocked down 7 pins and picked up the spare! Thank God for Wii Sports. Ended up bowling a 100 and winning the game! I have never been so proud of me in my life. It's amazing what kind of effect doing something so simple can have on you. My self-confidence is growing by leaps and bounds. I rolled I don't know how many gutter balls, but it didn't lessen the thrill any at all. I DID IT!
Lessons & tips: If there is something you've been wanting to do but haven't had the courage to try, just do it. Life is too short to let fear rule you. Start with something small and watch your confidence soar. One little step is all it takes to open your eyes to new possibilities. Don't worry about what other people think. This is YOUR life.. the only one you will ever have. Don't you want it to be the best it can be?
