BESTSELF™ ICEBREAKER | Courage 10

WHERE IS A LACK OF COURAGE HOLDING YOU BACK?

Much like last week’s post, it is likely as much my fear of success as it is my fear of failure.

I know I have a book or ten in me. I simply (ha!) need to write them. I have them conceptualized in my head. It’s time to do the work - leave my blood, sweat and tears on the page. Combining all of that with my natural need for perfection, I find I’m in a search of excellence procrastination stew. Oh, that and there’s a pandemic that is sucking the life out of me.

I shall allow myself grace.

That and heed my reminders for the year ahead, which are housed in a small 4” x 5” frame on my desk, in case I sway off course:

I’ve done a number of things to prepare for 2022, and as I enter this, a personal one year, I’m going to be gentle with myself. I think this is a percolation year, a time to mull how the rest of my life is going to look. The last 2+ years beat the crap out of me mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically - all of it. So, while I heed the three concepts above, I will allow myself time to heal and know that whatever is meant for me will not pass me by and stay open to all that appears for my highest good. That’s as courageous as I get, now.
