why are we so afraid of trying NEW things? Well, its time for this fear of failure gal to do IT despite the fear. this weeks IT: start a blog - that could prelude to a book someday. What would you do in your life if FEAR was not a factor??? do share!!
May sound weird, but for me, fear sometimes is the reason why I do something. After many, many years getting up in front of my church's congregation to speak, I still get nervous. Getting up there to sing, as much as I enjoy it, is even scarier. I saw both my mom and her sister guide too many of their decisions over deep set fears (heights and enclosed spaces, respectively). So, though I may get scared, if I want to do something, I still do it. I still challenge myself to do things I'm afraid to do and to do them 100% -- sometimes the fear holds me back a bit.
