Why settle for less when there is an endless supply in stock?
Sometimes being too conservative deprives us of all that we can get, attain and become.
You don’t want to be loud, you don’t want to attract attention to yourself and so you adopt the “on a low” mentality; gradually that could actually put you on the low.
Snap out of that ideology and learn to express yourself, don’t let society with its funny rules and ways determine how you live your life. I’m not proposing seeking attention everywhere you go, No! But rather, not holding back on being who you are, “everyone is already taken, be yourself.”
Come out of your shell, if you are a singer, then Sing out Loud, if you are a writer, then make sure no pen has ink left around you, if you love food please you should atleast also love cooking so you can try out every recipe there is and in time invent yours. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and be corrected that’s how you grow, get better and stronger.
Don’t live a day without doing what you love, else you are getting closer to one sad island called REGRET. Trust me the last thing you want when having flashbacks is having regrets, the idea that you could have done something but you didn’t just because you didn’t want to seem stupid or awkward is actually sickening. Most of the time some of the assumptions we have that people will think about us doing certain stuff are sooo wrong and off point and we never know cause we never try and all we get is that sad feeling of “had I known, I should have just tried.”
You don’t get yesterday back, so make sure your today is lived worthwhile and regret free.

How To Live Your Life Out Loud: Ways to Get Started

1. Live your life on purpose.
Not on “default.” Be Proactive. Make conscious and deliberate choices. When you don’t choose, circumstances choose for you and you are never leading: you are following or catching up—or worse, living in “default” mode.

2. Give in your best
Give what you’re doing your best and fullest attention. Be here now.

3. Overcome your fear(s).
Every fear overcomed is freedom gained. Don’t know how to overcome fear? Do the thing you’re afraid of. Make a list, cross them off the list. Make it a game. Pretty soon, you will be invincible.

4. Do something you haven’t done before
Learn a new instrument, take an art class, play with a digital camera, sign up for a salsa class, take up cooking, plant a garden, join toastmasters, pick up a needle and thread, try mountain climbing, go scuba diving, camping, or kayaking. Find something that interests you and explore it. You never know what will come out of it.

5. Create a new habit or break an old one.
Who has dominion over your life—you or your habits? Make it a game. How many things can you get under your control? How many bad habits can you convert? There is a great sense of empowerment when you feel you are in charge of your life. This helps you get there.

6. Give a stranger a compliment.
Not only does it make someone else feel good, but it makes you feel good to compliment someone else. All of the sudden the world is small and the stranger next to us becomes our friend and we recognize that we’re all in this together.

7. Take 100% responsibility for your life.
If you don’t whoever does will control you forever.
If things aren’t working out in your favor, take note and ask yourself what your part in it is. Being a victim is weak and boring. There is no power in blaming other people. Don’t wait for other people to change. When you change, your world will follow suit.

8. Ask Yourself Positive Questions.
Instead of saying you can’t get there, ask “How can I get there?” Live in the affirmation of possibility rather than in negativity.

9. Make decisions for yourself.
There is great power in making a decision. You don’t know what you want? Then look at what you don’t want and make that choice today.

10. Know your own value.
If you don’t want to be taken for granted and looked on as been cheap, then value yourself before anyone else will.
Others may be more educated, skilled, or talented in one or another area, but there is something magnificent and valuable about what you have to offer this world that no one else possesses. Stop idolizing anyone else’s gifts and dismissing your own.

11. Stop Complaining.
Complaining is a form of passive victimhood. Ask yourself instead, why is this happening to me and what part do I play in this picture? Then work on your part of the solution.

12. Be of service.
Offer your help where you can and do your part in making the world a friendly place. We are all in this together. As Gandhi preached, be the change that you wish to see happen. You would be surprised by the impact you have.

13. Stop waiting.
Life is happening right now. Don’t wait for the right career, the perfect relationship, or the landfill of money. Make the best of what you have right now and be creative with it. Don’t put your life on pause. Live with the possibility that what you are waiting for can arrive tomorrow, and live your best life today.

Bloom where you are planted. Work from the inside out. Make the commitment to yourself and get started.
