You know what is scary?

“Making a big life change is pretty scary. But you know what is even scarier? REGRET!” – Zig Ziglar

When we have decided to leave our life, our home, our family, our job, our comfort zone, and move to more than 10,000km away, in a new country, without a job, without a home, without knowing anyone, it was pretty scary but we did not want to live all our life with the thought “what if?”

Don’t be afraid to dare! Go for it! Worst case you still can go back!

    Yes, Ribana, I did the same btw. I am so delighted to know that I have found another thing that we are sharing. Challenges are scary for our subconscious mind and it will do anything to not to experience them but if you are the master of your mind you never listen it and do whatever you want. What if is favourite words of subconscious mind. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗

      Very true Margo! Our mind would like to keep us in the comfort zone but if we step out and take up the challenges we realize what we are capable of and we may discover a much better version of ourselves that we even did not know exist 😉💕 Is everything in our mind 😉💕 it is up to us to see it or not 😉💕

    This is so inspirational! I know it’ll be scary but regret is so much worse. I’m constantly striving to be the best version of myself 😊

    Hi. love the quote.Very true indeed. There is nothing greater than the fear of fear itself. It is the first step that is always the hardest. Have a wonderful day. Goff

    That’s beautiful looking squirrel in the photograph Ribana – is that Plantain Squirrel? I used to keep 15 squirrel species amongst them a lot of Asian species such as the Plantain, the Prevost, The Horsetail [in fact that one nearly landed me in prision], Red cheeked, Grey Bellied, Three striped Ground and many others to boot. I love squirrels, l think that’s the plantain, although it might be the black striped, – but if l am not mistaken, it has three strips of colour visible from the side in the image, white and black and was the belly orange?

    Well done for taking the leap of faith 🙂

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      I’m not sure what kind of squirrel it is, I even did not know that are so many types 🤔😄 But I like them so so much, so cute…since I live near the reservoir is quite common to see them around the condo. This was just exactly at the entrance in the condo, and she was not scared…she stayed there quietly 😊💕 🐿 too cute…yes the belly is lighter than the rest 😊 I love walking into the reservoir and see them 🐿💕
      Thank you Rory! 😊

        Squirrels are a great social and friendly species 🙂

    Tel me about it, Ribana! Done that in 2005, and I can tell you: I was scared! But I had a fire inside, and hope, and faith, and I knew that it was time! No regrets! You lose some, you won some, but no regrets!👌💖

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar
