Overcoming the little fears

I've always felt really scared to do something that I havent done before....And am not talking about doing something big or substantial...... even something as insignificant as going to buy veggies alone,without mum, was a scary thing for me........there always was a fear of doing something wrong and messing it up....even though it didnt mean the end of the world.......
Everytime I did something for the first time, successfully, I felt proud of myself..........
Yesterday I felt that sense of achievement yet again, when I drove the car on a ghat, for the first time......This was one of my greatest fears......coz when I would see dad or even sis drive on the ghat I would be in awe......I would always feel that any moment now the car is just gonna fall off the road into the valley below............and I would be amazed at how anyone could prevent that from happening.......hehehe.......it was a stupid fear....
But yesterday I overcame that fear........I drove all the way from Pune to Mahabaleshwar (and I'd like to specifically mention that I was driving faster than 30kmph :P)
It was the most amazing drive ever.........there were a couple of steep turns on the ghat that were very scary but I did a really good job........and I'd like to give myself a pat on the back for that :)
I know dad would be very proud when he would see me drive that way......he taught me well......
Its one of those feelings you know.........when you think that if you can do just this one thing........you can do anything in this world......bring it on!!!!!!!!
