My biggest challenges are letting go of negative behavior. I wish I could tell you why this is, but if I knew I would not hang on to things that are bad for me. They say that we become comfortable with things and fear holds us back from attaining the best. We know where we are presently and though things are not great the unknown keeps us in bondage. What if? What might? What could? All the questions of what hold me back.
Fear is my biggest hindrance. It hinders me from all things great. Fear keeps me stuck where I long to be away from. I am intimate with where I am at the present so instead of reaching for better, I stay stuck. Afraid to take a chance on better. Truthfully, anything would be better than where I am now, but Fear tells me different.
Fear says it will be a disaster. Fear says you cannot do it. Fear says people will look at you funny. Fear says you will regret this. Fear says you will stay stuck in whatever it is I fear. Fear is a liar and I believe fear. How sad is this?
Fear keeps me from attaining the best. Always has and always will as long as I allow it to control my life. I make the choices, but it looks as though fear is behind the wheel. Driving me wherever it wants to while I sit idly in the passenger seat allowing fear to drive my life. Taking me wherever fear decides and those places are never good places.
When will I boot fear out the door and take control of my life? I can do this at any time I choose. What holds me back? Fear does and fear is a figment of my imagination. Telling me all things wrong. And, I listen. Intently. Doing fears bidding.
Well, today that changes. Fear has overextended its welcome. I will tell fear it has to go and I will begin doing the driving of my life. Will I be afraid? Probably so. Something done for a long time is embedded in you. But, I will do it afraid.
