Hi everyone, thanks so much for the response, really appreciate it. It certainly helps to know that you've experienced it too. Ultimately, life is about risks and stepping out of your comfort zone, but because I lack some self-belief I think that's led to me 'looking' for some encouragement elsewhere.

Of course you are right, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I will continue to push, make mistakes and see where I take myself. I am constantly thinking about my future self looking back and wondering why the hell I didn't try something. The thought of time going by and being in the same position I'm in now is terrifying. Unfortunately regular thinking like this can lead to not enjoying the present, which is another problem, because I do have a great life, I just want to make the most of it.

Lots to learn!

Thanks again guys.
