Live YOUR Dreams

Fear is one thing that is sure to stop us dead in our tracks from living a life of joy and passion.  When there is something that we really want to do it easy to feel scared and overwhelmed.  Where do I start?  What if no one likes it?

I had these same fears as I was facing many questions in my life as to what I wanted to do for a living.  Did I follow my fears and just go do something that I really didn't want to do just to feel secure or did I give my dreams a shot first and know that I really tried.  I almost gave up several times, but a voice in my head kept saying, "Just go for it, what have you got to lose"  What was the worst thing that could happen?  They could tell me "No" and that sure wasn't going to kill me.

So I sent off my first manuscript on a book I wrote to a publisher.  I have not heard back yet, but very excited.  Either way, I am very happy I did it.  I took a chance on something I really wanted to do. If it turns out I have to go work down a different path for a little while, I still won't give up on my writing.  Everything happens for a reason and I believe that once you set into motion your dreams, the universe does conspire to make it happen.  How fast this happens depends, so never give up.

Remember that everyone is frightened on the inside when taking a chance, but override that fear by showing yourself there is nothing to be afraid of.  What is the worst thing that could happen?  It might not happen?  Well you are already okay without it happening, so if it did happen, what a lovely bonus.  If it does not, your world won't crash in.

True freedom is found by doing the things we love the most.  When we take a leap of faith we find life and we won't lose our life.  Be sure to live in spite of your fears.  Once we can look past our fears, we find new life.  Like Helen Keller once said:

"Life is either a daring Adventure or it's nothing"

Let's all pursue our dreams and live magnificent full lives.  Living abundantly is how we were meant to spend life, not with limitation and a lack of joy and spontaneity.  Live a life that is full of joy and wonder, without fear.
