To me, this quote means that you can be afraid to do something, but when you do it, it's not so bad. If you mess up then just move on and fix it next time. In other words, you can’t change the past, only live in the present and never consider only the worst if you are afraid to do something.
A time I experienced fear is when I went to my first lacrosse game. The whole ride there I was thinking What if I don’t score a goal and What if I don’t catch the ball? And when I entered the game, I was so nervous. I played in the 2nd quarter and realized that people were dropping the ball and not scoring goals. So when I got out on that field, I wasn’t as nervous. …show more content…
I was running down the field and slung it at the goalie. The goalie caught it. Right at that moment, I felt a mixture of things. I should have practiced more. I should have shot harder. These were things running through my mind as I ran up the field to retrieve the ball that the goalie had slung back to the other side of the court. I realized halfway down the court that my regret was stupid and I couldn’t change what I did in the past.
Another experience I had was when I was 9. I was tall enough to ride almost all the rides at Cedar Point and I was so excited to ride them. We had ridden all the rides we were allowed to ride until we reached the last one. I was so scared to do it because it was so tall. My parents forced me to go on it and I tried everything to convince them that I didn’t want to go. They made me go anyway. We got up and I screamed the whole way down. My fear was very stupid and now I love that roller coaster!
I support this quote because it relates to me in my real life and I think we can all learn and live by this
