FEAR:

Fear can be a big stopper for many of us: fear
of fragility, fear of failure, fear of making a
mistake, fear of what others might think, fear
of success. We may second-guess our next
action or word until we talk ourselves out of
participating in life.

“But I failed before!” “I can’t do it good
enough!” “Look at what happened last time!”
“What if …?” These statements may disguise
fear. Sometimes the fear is disguising shame.

After I finished the first two chapters of a
book I was writing, I read them and grimaced.
“No good,” I thought. “Can’t do it.” I was
ready to pitch the chapters, and my writing
career, out the window. A writer friend called,
and I told her about my problem. She listened
and told me: “Those chapters are fine. Stop
being afraid. Stop criticizing yourself. And
keep on writing.”

I followed her advice. The book I almost
threw away became a New York Times
best-seller.

Relax. Our best is good enough. It may be
better than we think. Even our failures may
turn out to be important learning
experiences that lead directly to – and are
necessary for – an upcoming success.

Feel the fear, then let it go. Jump in and do
it – whatever it is. If our instincts and path
have led us there, it’s where we need to be.
