How I did it: I forgot about this goal when I left 43 Things for a bit. Not sure what happened to me over the course of that time. The person I was a year ago definitely isn't the person I was before. I'm still shy, but  it isn't really a hindrance as it was before. I guess spending a month away from everything familiar did me a world of good. I still shy away from some opportunities, but I have been involved with many things lately that were beyond my previous comfort level. I'm happy with myself.

Lessons & tips:

• Jump into the unknown. Force yourself into situations outside of your comfort zone and stay as long as you possibly can. Your perspective of the world and yourself will change.
• Don't let fear overtake you. Just try to keep positive about any situation.
