Writing

I didn't do the writing I wanted to do because I was reluctant (aka: afraid) to have my name in print. I FINALLY got over it enough to proceed, only because I eventually HAD to do something that required my name be out there and so I did, and lived through it.

Now, having gone through all that, I discovered an amazing truth: I got older anyway. Each day I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing, I got older anyway.

Nothing stood still and waited for me while I got my act together. It was all getting ready to pass me by if I couldn't wake up and get in the flow of the stream of my life myself.

Truth #2: It wasn't as bad as I'd feared (tip: it never is), so whatever you're afraid of, remember this: The FEAR of the fear is worse than the fear itself. The fear of the fear is what is keeping you immobilized.

Throw the fear aside, and face it fully, boldly and confidently just as a matter of principle. DO IT NOW. And then you can be pursuing your dream each day while you also age.
