Leap of Faith
It has been far too long since my last post for a variety of reasons but the overarching reason is lack of inspiration. I have to be in a certain space mentality for the words to flow and this morning I am in that space. I have been wide awake for well over and hour and it is 6:40am. I decided to read this morning when I could not go back to sleep and the reading inspired me to write. Here is the question that was my spark of inspiration for today. What would you do if you were not afraid of the outcome? I want you to stop reading right now and make a list of at least 5 things you would do if you were not afraid and then I want you to do one more thing for me, pick one item on this list and commit to doing it within the next 90 days. I know I am asking a lot but I think you will be pleasantly surprised about the outcome of this experience. I would love for you to share the results with me as well. Don't worry I will not be sharing them unless you give me permission to do so. I am just interested in the things that hold other people captive. I will be doing the same exercise and hopefully in a future blog I will be able to share with you which fear I conquered. Did you see how I did that I began to speak life into the situation by declaring a positive outcome? There are enough forces in this world against us, we, ourselves should not be one of them. One of my biggest fears in this life is rejection. So to be more specific, I hesitate to share my true emotions because I don't want to get my feelings hurt or realize that the fantasy that I have created in my head is not the reality of the situation so I keep my feelings to myself which means that I could be missing out on some wonderful opportunities in life. How many of you out there share that same fear. This is one of things that I am going to change about myself. I am going to throw caution to the wind and share what is on my mind and my heart. I say this realizing that I will not always get my desired outcome but that is not what life is about, what kind of world would this be if we all got exactly what we wanted all the time?!?!?! Hmmm more food for thought I guess but not for today. Perhaps overcoming one fear at a time will inspire to conquer all the things that scare me but for today I will focus on this one and begin with the end in mind, success is mine for the taking!
