How to Cultivate the Courage to Take the First Step

Hello, this is Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to gain a sense of self.

The NISSAN commercial familiar from Kimutaku,
NISSAN commercial

"Go for it, NISSAN"

I love this "Go for it."

The reason I like it is because it:

・Accepts failure
・Has the joy of taking on a challenge

that is why.

When you say "Go for it,"

(It's okay if you fail, so) go for it

(You don't need to worry about mistakes, so) go for it

(It's okay if you get it wrong, so) go for it

(Take a gamble and) go for it

(Just for now) go for it

Like this, you use "go for it" when you don't know if you can do it or
if it will go well, but
you decide to
give it a try.

When I was a child,
there were many things I did
by saying "Go for it!"

When drawing on paper,
I would want to draw a bigger picture.

I want to draw off the edge of the paper...

"What should I do? Should I try it? Go for it!"

Well, I got scolded when I did it, though. lol

If I turn the abacus upside down,
maybe I can make a toy car!?

"What should I do? Should I try it? Go for it!"

I got scolded for this too, though. lol

But, it remains as a fun memory.

Besides, if I wanted to draw something big, I started thinking of new ideas,
like trying to tape pieces of paper together,
or trying to make wheels
out of bamboo skewers and milk bottle caps.
I started thinking about new things.

Things I started with a "just do it" attitude
didn't always go well,
but in the end, there were many things
that I became able to do because of them.

Also, when I started note,
I thought, "Just do it!"
and clicked to register.

At first, I felt like I was going to be crushed by anxiety,
but now I want to praise myself
and say, "Well done."

As we get older,
we can get tied down by common sense
and become unable to move,
but that is exactly when I want to tell myself:

"Just do it, just do it♪"

I want to avoid the risk of losing a lot of money, but
living life trying not to fail,
trying not to be disliked,
and trying not to make mistakes
is boring.

So, just do it♪

I want to give myself a push.

Thank you
for reading until the end.

If you could give me a like, comment, or follow,
it would be a great encouragement for the future!
