What's the ONE thing you'd do if you have confidence?

A friend of mine was single last year on Valentine’s Day. She’d been happily single for a very long time. But this year she decided to go on a Valentine’s date anyway. With herself. At first, she felt a bit stupid, and a little out of her comfort zone. But then she changed her attitude and decided to get curious about it. Why not? She bought her favourite foods, a lovely bottle of wine, a bunch of flowers and had a spa day at home. She started with a bubble bath, painted her nails and put her makeup on. She slipped on a beautiful dress and heels and she felt great. After a sumptuous meal she chilled by the fire and watched Netflix. And then she posted about it. What is the ONE thing you would do if you had the confidence to do it? That is the question she asked. She was inundated with emails. This day changed her life. One day her girlfriends dared her to start online dating. It was way out of her comfort zone. But she took the same approach and decided to get curious about it. She had convinced herself she didn’t need love. She was happily single, independent, and didn’t need a man. She was alone for 12 years and was okay with it. But the more curious she became, the more she realised, that was just her cover story. Her way of protecting herself from getting hurt. It's okay to not need a man. But, if she was honest, deep down she wanted to be loved, to find someone to share her life with and, with whom to grow old. Isn’t that what we all want? What is the ONE thing you would do if you had the confidence to do it? She asked herself. I’d put myself out there and give dating a try! Long story short, a friend from 20 years before came back into her life. They’ve been together ever since and she's blissfully happy. Too often, when we find the courage to step outside our comfort zone it feels so strange that we retreat back to where it feels safe, even if that safety net is a dark, dysfunctional place. We find reasons as my friend did, to justify this to ourselves. It’s why so many of us go back time and time again into toxic relationships. Just as we find the courage to leave, we go running back when the fear of the unknown gets too great. It's why we shut ourselves off from love, convincing ourselves: it's too late for me, all the good ones are gone, or simply, my lot in life is to be alone. Let me ask you this: What is the ONE thing you would do if you had confidence to do it? What have you denied yourself for years out of fear? What is the ONE biggest thing you will look back on with regret if you don’t find the courage to give yourself the chance? Let me know by replying to the comments below.
