Fear is a Four Letter Word!
J.D. at Get Rich Slowly has a great post about leting go of of the F word … FEAR!
The Power of Yes A Simple Way To Get More Out of Life
It is a long post but worth the read if you feel the fear and let it stop you from living life.
I often find myself afraid of confrontation or rejection. I have focused so much on the failures in my life that I let them overshadow my triumphs. If I think about it I have triumphed far more than failed. I now spend more time replaying my triumphs to record over my failures. In fact, I am editing my failures as triumphs.
It seems the older I get the more I have let fear stop me from living. I would try to hide from failure but what I was really doing is missing many opportunities. I didn’t even attempt to try so I don’t even know if I would have failed because I didn’t even try. I have spent the past year afraid to try blogging, why? I have already grown with only a few weeks of posts under my belt. What was I afraid of? The unknown! The unknown is exciting, once you conquir you can look back and see all that you learned and the sense of accomplishment is tremendous! You are ready for the next alley … I mean horizon.
I am gratefully that I am realizing this now and I can change it now and my life will be so much better for it. We can all change right now. It doesn’t matter how old you are, who your parents are, where you grew up, etc. If you BELIEVE you can change. You are what you think you are!
I am strong and positive. I am smart and fearless. These words are not easy to put out here but I am stepping forward and out of my fear.
When I don’t think I can move forward I say, “Let go, Let God!”
Blessings to you!
