This morning I was contemplating the reasons for not blogging very often, even though I had many ideas that I wanted to write about. I realised the fear of not being a good writer was stopping me. So I took a deep breath, acknowledged my fear, and chose to write anyway. What if my blog benefited just one person; who am I to withhold ? It’s so easy for our fears to be all consuming and to keep us from moving forward in our lives.
I used to have powerful reminders around my apartment, which said simply – Faith versus Fear. So, I made a pledge with myself , to acknowledge my fear, then question what is behind it. For example, what is the worst thing that can happen if I write this blog ! The fear is not based in reality but triggered by some belief about myself from the past. So I’m now willing to choose faith over fear. It’s not always easy, but it is always a choice.
I don’t want to get to the end of my life with thoughts of; if only I hadn’t been so afraid to do……… Do you? What fears are holding you back from a goal or maybe a life long ambition?
