Facing Fears!

Hey everyone I hope you all enjoyed your holidays! Due to a few technical difficulties I couldn’t post last week but I’m bacccckkkkk!!!!! So this week my topic is FEAR!!! We all have fears whether it’s from simple things or more complex. Being fearful of something is probably one of the biggest obstacles that can very well stand in-between you and what you are trying to accomplish. As I have grown older I have learned more and more each day that you simply can’t let your fears stand in-between you and what you are trying to do. For instance I’m going to open up about some of my fears. One big fear of mine has always been rejection. I used to would honestly say well…..I’m not going to do this because no one may like it or people may push it to the side. It was pretty simple minded because as long as you tell yourself yes then the no’s shouldn’t matter. I guess at some point we all play victim to our own harsh criticism. I learned that my vision is something that is MINE! Not anyone else’s and it’s up to you to get it done. I look back on how I use to be more of a safe player and I realize that risk and being more edgy is what gets you what you want. I’m not there yet but I know I’m on my way. Another bigger fear of mine is probably going to be failure. Sometimes we all dream so big and have this long list of things we are trying to get accomplished that you think it is just way too much for you to do. I often thought that some of the things that I thought about were beyond me!! For example I’m finishing up the final touches on my book that will be released early 2014 and my main goal is to make this thing bigger than ever. I set expectations for myself and that’s what I plan to reach. I try being reasonable but how can you be reasonable when you know what you are capable of or what you desire to be. It’s a major difference between simply sitting and talking about your dreams and you slowly opening the doors to live them out. I don’t think about failing others I think about failing myself. I never want to be that person who sits back and watch what’s happening then have to boggle my mind on why it’s that way. I never want to be that. I know that everything has to be done through trial and error. You’re going to make mistakes and you’re going to fall down more times than one. I get all of that. They say if your dreams don’t scare you then you’re not dreaming big enough….I guess I say that to simply say we all have fears. I try not to let mine stand in my way at all. I know that I’m going to do things and realize that I probably should have done it differently. I’m learning to be self-motivated. I have a great support system no doubt but no matter what you still have your own battles that you fight within yourself. It’s no such thing as no…..as long as you tell yourself yes that’s all that count. We can’t let our fears talk us down from our dreams. So I hope that this reached someone and we all get started accomplishing what we set out to do. It’s nothing like the overwhelming feeling of seeing your dreams come true. That’s the best achievement ever. LET’S NOT PUT OFF FOR 2014 FOR WHAT WE CAN START NOW!!!! It’s time!!!
