Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway

I have started over so many times in my life - in one way or another. And each time I started over, I had to deal with that element of fear.

Where does that fear come from? What's behind it? Do I really need to know?

Or do I just need to feel the fear - and do it anyway!

View it as a new chapter of your life. Fear = Opportunity to Suceed.

Thank you for being Present to me once again. It helps more than you will ever know.

I am at a very new spot in my life's journey - facing everything head on - even those invisible forces that have held me back for a lifetime - Especially those invisible forces.

Today I feel more alive than I have ever felt in my life. I have no idea where any of this will lead but that is Life - and it feels good to be living it - even if now and then it takes me places where I would rather not be.

I have a couple posts brewing. Thanks for your encouragement.

Yay....PWW is back. I have not a whit of cogency on this, except the words of Eleanor Roosevelt...

"You gain strength, Courage and Confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look your fear in the face.

You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along"

Best to you. You're doin' just fine.

Thanks, Wollf. As usual it is a pleasure hearing from you.

I have noticed the truth in those words. If you give in to little fears, pretty soon they take over your life. By the same token, if you start not backing down - no matter what nameless fears you are feeling inside - you begin to experience a new strength and a renewed confidence in yourself.
