You know what I love most about it? Your honesty for one and two I think that many people at some point in their lives can relate to this 'fear'.

For me, I jumped in when I started blogging. I'm working so hard to make money from my blog and I am so slowly starting to see some profit, very small, but it's starting.

Sounds like you're passionate about photography. We work, we sleep, and we play. If one of those 3 pieces of the pie is not complete then life isn't complete.

I'll have to check out Zack's entire post now that I've gotten a taste of it. Thanks for sharing that.

I think everyone faces some sort of "mid-life crisis" at some point. We reach a certain age, where we start to look back at where we've been, and the clock seems to be running down way too fast…

"I'd rather have a life full of mistakes then a heart full of regret"

I hope we are both able to muddle through our mid-life crisis and come out the other end even better than before!

I've had moments of dream chasing and moments of running from my dreams. Running FROM them has always led to more regret, more pain, and more stress than embracing!

I have so much I want to do and see……..but find myself trapped by my own fears. To anyone out there-young, brave, (stupid?)—DO IT NOW, before you lose your guts!

Samantha….Send me some photos and I'd be happy to look at them and give you some feedback. I have a friend that was in the exact same place as you a year ago and she is rocking out her photography business now (check her out at http://www.monsonphotography.blogspot.com)

chelleyreads…good luck on achieving your dreams. I wish you the absolute best. If you jump in and find yourself in need of a life preserver I'll toss ya one 😉
