Embrace What You Fear

I am petrified of snakes.  I'm terrified of heights.  I am scared

of speaking to large groups of people and I am leery of dogs I do not know. 

I'm afraid to share my writing.

I'm afraid to have anyone see my paintings.

I'm afraid of failing at exercise.

I'm afraid of taking time for myself.

I'm afraid of sucking at everything I start.

But that FEAR does not stop me from writing, painting,kickboxing, doing things special for only me, and trying new things. 

The FEAR fuels me.  It inspires me to do, try, and get better.  I'm a work in progress for the good the bad and the ugly. 

You won't find me cuddling up to a snake or bungee jumping off a cliff  but you will find me sweating and shaking in my shoes when I read the story I just wrote, or turn the painting around that I just finished, or when my left jab falls short ,or I go for that walk when time maybe limited.

Come over here FEAR let me give you a big hug.

CHEERS TO REVIN UP!
