I am sure this is one line that we all often come across. Maybe in our hearts and mind and not on our lips. In all these years there have been so many things that I wanted to do. Maybe just take that needed leap of faith to see what lies on the other side but I couldn’t. Maybe I wanted to just open up my heart to someone and share my true feelings but I couldn’t. Or maybe I just wanted to go back in time and do something that would have made my life a better place now. Well, we are humans and these maybe are more often than not part of our lives. So here is a list of things that I feel one day I would finally work my courage to and do….
Travel alone- Well this one has been on my list for all these grown-up years of my life. There have been some or the other reason I couldn’t do this. To begin with, I wish to work up my courage and go on a solo trip with confidence and a selfie stick. Be on my own, take all my decisions, soak into the surroundings, get to know new people and so much more. Say No- I am not sure if you too feel the same. But this is something I struggle a lot with. I cannot say no. There have been times when I was used by people around me for this habit of saying yes to everything. But I guess there is a limit to everything and thus I wish to work up my courage to start saying more often (When needed the most, rest I am an amiable person 😊)
Admit my mistakes- Well, I do admit my mistakes but at times it takes a lot of time for that admission to come on my lips. And with time I realize that early acceptance of mistake would have helped a particular situation better. So yes, I wish to work up my courage and admit my mistakes as and when.
Open my heart- This would be for many people in my life to whom I couldn’t open my heart to when it was needed. To begin with I would like to work up my courage to tell him that I loved him enough but things were not in our destiny. I would like to apologize for the fact that I couldn’t take up the courage then. But I have no regrets. Life today is what is best for everyone. Write my first book- Since the early years of my life, I have been writing letters and expressing myself. Over a while, I came to know of my flair for writing. In all these years I couldn’t muster the courage to write the book that I always wanted to. There has been a deep-seated storyline in my heart that I want to give words to. Someday I want to work up my courage and pen down this book.
Get pre-marriage weight- This may not seem very difficult but I have a huge margin to work on. In over 10 years of marriage and 2 pregnancies, I have gained a substantial amount of weight and have just not been able to lose weight. I seriously have to work up my courage and lose this weight and gain my pre-marriage weight.
If I sit to think I am sure many more things will come out for which I have been looking to work up my courage. However, I would like to sit back and let my imagination wander in the past, present, and future and things that need my courage.
Do share what is that one thing for which you need courage?

It really takes a lot of courage to achieve LL that you listed and I hope you do it one day. #tmmreads
It is a good idea to have such lists. There are a few things I might not know about, but if you are trying to find the courage to travel by yourself, I can assure you that courage is needed to take the first step alone. Once you start moving, you will feel better and become stronger. It might be different for different people but I’m sure it won’t be as bad as you think it is!
Such an honest post, Rakhi. Refreshing to read that you have a simple wishlist. I know how much you have on your plate, else you would have ticked off everything on this list. Hope you do soon!
The courage to say ‘No’ and the courage to write my own book… I could relate to these two….
it’s wonderful that you shared this list. That’s one brave thing you accomplished already. And I’m sure you’ll do the rest soon. look forward to reading your first book.
Some of the points in this list resonate with me too Rakhi. Especially going to pre-marriage weight and traveling alone.
