"A life lived in fear is a life half lived." - Strictly BallroomMany times over the last few years I've thought about starting a blog but something always held me back. Fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of exposure...the list was endless . I recently came across something that I wrote a few years ago that illustrates my struggle:
My pen has failed me, or am I failing the pen?
Either way it's the same. Failure.
Fail is a four letter word. So is fear.
How closely connected they are.
All of my life I've been caught in a cycle of fear and failure.
Fear of failure. Failure through fear.
Money isn't the root of all evil; fear is.
Well now I've decided to break the cycle. For several months now I've been on a journey to take control of my life - to live it fully despite my fears. This blog is the next step on that journey. Maybe no one will read it but that isn't the point. It can serve as a record as I strive to bring my dreams, my life and my spirit into fruition.
