What Makes Me Nervous

At this point in my life I usually have the self awareness to know the difference between being nervous and excited. Exciting is when I get on a flight that will hop a big pond- Off to Europe, Australia, halfway there Hawaii. Nervous is hearing over the loudspeaker that we are being delayed getting on the plane because the plane needs a new part.

Exciting is renting a car and going to the resort, nervous is driving in Nashville Tennessee or Atlanta traffic-everyone should be terrified, Exciting- Trying a new restaurant, nervous- having to cook a meal for others. Exciting? riding a segway around Uluru, Nervous- being the leader of the pack of segways

Nervousness to me is just a less intense fear. Fear of what or nervous of a less than desired outcome. Many, maybe most outcomes are out of my control. However, taking the risk or being forced into a role- leading segways, having faith in people and getting on the plane after the part was installed, driving in various cities and paying attention has led me to some of the most exciting experiences of my life!
