You Suck Christopher Benedict

There are so many people I've come across in life, including myself, that have not pursued dreams, goals or passions because either we didn't know where to start or we were scared by the challenge of what we didn't know. Or worse, because we believed that unless we could be perfect at it right from the start, then why even bother? Have you ever caught yourself in that trap? You wanted to try something new, but didn't want to appear silly or stupid, so you avoided it all together, just to keep your fragile ego intact! (It's ok, we have all done this or will do it again! Just recognize it next time you have an opportunity and you want to say "no" out of fear.) There is a pretty straightforward and simple point here: that we are going to really suck at a lot of things in our lives and that we are not going to be perfect. Period. Guess what? We are not going to know it all, nor are we going to be able to do it all, but that doesn't mean that we can't achieve great success or personal freedom or happiness in our lives. Happiness, afterall, is in the pursuit!I welcome you, dear reader, to truly embrace the suck!
