I like what you said about missed opportunities. I think this applies to everything in our lives. There are many times for myself that I look back and think, if i had only taken the chance or done that differently. What might have been the change or outcome. It's often the fear of failure or change or even sometimes success that holds us back in these situations and for that we regretfully don't open the door when opportunity is knocking. My Steemit experience so far is a story of me not letting that happen. I have always wanted to write, always thought I have ideas to share. Even have aspirations of writing a book. For one reason or another I have not siezed the opportunities to do these things, maybe for all the fears listed above. I was somewhat fearful when I started here on Steemit but quickly decided that this is an opportunity to capture all those desires I've had in the past. I've jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back. This is my chance and whatever the results I will be able to say I gave it my all. So far I'm loving every minute.
