You know those reviews that are like \u201cpraise so-and-so for that awesome title?\u201d<\/em> And you think to yourself \u201cwow okay calm down big-shot reviewer.\u201d *clears throat* Well. I now understand that statement.<\/p>\n

This will be an honest review, with personal confessions *gasps.*.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h5>\n

I have had existential crises in the past, but it\u2019s been clear that my past few months have been a fog. And it\u2019s something that you just can\u2019t put into words. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m short-tempered, on-edge and unhappy. I\u2019m trying to get better, just give me time. I recognize it, just let me sift through it.<\/p>\n

Which may be one of the reasons why I decided it was time to read Arianna Huffington\u2019s book On Becoming Fearless\u2026 In Love, Work, and Life<\/em>. Because gaining confidence is one area I need to work on.<\/p>\n

Her book does help the reader reach a certain calmness. Am I perfect? No. But am I trying? Yes. Can I be fearless? Heck yeah.<\/p>\n

The Book.<\/h5>\n

So thank you Arianna Huffington for reminding me that I am human. I may not know what\u2019s in store<\/p>\n

for me, but as long as I keep putting myself out there, good things will come my way. I have to seize these opportunities, make the best of the situation, and tell myself: I can do this.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you noticed that worrying doesn\u2019t stop it from happening? And indeed, that we worry about many things that never happen?\u201d (Huffington, 43).<\/h6>\n
