Doubts

What do you do when you know you want something really bad but you're scared that when you do it your whole life is going to change?

I really want to go to TT. I have a couple things standing in my way. 1) I have half the money - I need the other half. 2) My own self. My doubting self. My scared self.

But I know deep down inside I want it - real bad. Another problem - I am now unemployed - so the idea of me doing this seems further away.

The moment I took an Iyengar yoga class, I knew I wanted to teach yoga. It was like suddenly - oh, this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Then, a year later, I took my first Bikram class - with deep hesitation and doubt - I fell in love.

And now I want it so bad, I want to cry. (Don't worry - I cry at the drop of a hat - it's how I deal).

So first step - I need 5 grand. Step two - grab my balls and dive in.

Do it, do it, do it! I spent a solid year crying over how much I wanted to go to TT, and then when I finally took the plunge and DID it, it became so EASY. All the big obstacles that I was so scared of turned out to be nothing. Scarecrows. It's a leap of faith, baby, but trust me, it work out. When you get on the right path, all you have to do is keep walking straight ahead and somehow - some way - it all comes together. xoxo J

Remember, they do take payments. AND! Apply for that scholarship! You deserve it, why shouldn't you get it?! If you want it, go get it. Make it happen! I would be willing to send you care packages of food to support your quest! :)
