FEAR

Fear: to be afraid of (something or someone)
or expect or worry about (something bad or unpleasant)

I believe this is a very important topic. It's something many people feel and don't realize how much fear is behind their decisions and thoughts. During my journey I have struggled with my ever present fear. What if I can't do this, what if I go bankrupt with with doing this. What if I buy the wrong truck, hire the wrong people pay the wrong price. Yes my list goes on!:) I've learned over time that my fear holds me back from a lot of things. Honestly just from looking back on my life and talking with my friends I've learned this. I would say "O I can't do this because this is standing in the way" My good friend Dee would say "No Musha(what she fondly calls me) that's not a valid concern and here is the solution!" I realized I was letting little things stand in my way out of fear. It took me a year of thinking about the idea of doing a mobile boutique before I really got started on the process. I take action to follow my dreams but I will drag my feet out of FEAR. I now realize I will always have some type of fear and I've decided to use it to my advantage. It helps me analyze potential issues but I don't let those issues become roadblocks. And if the road block is really serious I make a game out of finding a detour. I tell myself. Let's see how smart and competent you are to figure out a solution and when I do I know it's going to be a good one because that's how life is. The outcome is always the right outcome planned for you. With this said, I've also learned to not question God. By questioning the outcome I'm questioning God's power. I have to trust that things happen for a reason and the way they are suppose to. Sooooo I'm learning to face my fears, acknowledge them, try to use them to my advantage and move on. Notice I said I'm Learning and I Try. It's something I still struggle with but I work hard at overcoming my fears. I refuse to let fear keep me back. The successful people you see have fear yes, but they don't let it stand in their way. So NEVER let fear keep you from doing anything. I truly believe anyone can do anything in this world, it's a matter of how much you believe in yourself. When you believe in yourself you can do amazing things. Give it a shot and see!

"Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity"
