Yes, I have been posting quotes about fear all week so I see no reason to stop now. Today’s post addresses a reason why I have failed to succeed in the past and that was fear of failure or the fear that I was not good enough. I always thought that the people who ran everything, all of the corporate attorneys, stock brokers, surgeons, entrepreneurs and CEO’s had some type of superhuman intellect or had brains that just operated on a totally different level than me. I couldn’t fathom how they could get up in the morning without being overcome by anxiety and self doubt. How could they be brave enough to lead people and to make such costly decisions?
Over the past week, I’m not even quite sure how it all happened, but I’ve had a logo designed for my company, I’ve designed an interactive website for my company, I’ve hired an attorney to cover my rear, I’ve negotiated deals with my independent contractors, I’ve decided upon a registered agent for my LLC, I’ve taken the first half of my personal trainer examination and scheduled my CPR/AE certification course. I have researched all of the tax ramifications and have determined what type of insurance I must carry to protect myself and my company. I have all of the filings for the Secretary of State printed out and ready to go and did I mention I started my own company?!
Point of this is that I think my desire to succeed and make my family and friends proud of me again has surpassed the fear I have of failing. Since I know I can’t sink down any further or disappoint anyone any more than I already have, there’s really not much to lose but there is so very much to gain. Now after all of that, here is the quote that touched me this morning.
”One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic – something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word “decide” contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success.” -Maltbie Davenport Babcock

After a job loss and the fear and anxiety,depression and everything else that was a part of that.I’ve come to the place where,like you I can’t sink down any further.Disappoint family,all hope seems gone.Sometimes God takes us out to the desert and says “This place is called the school of trust, so your going to learn to trust in me and wait on me bacause I am an unhurried God” We have other talents and abilities God wants to use.Suddenly there is this divine interruption in our lives.So he takes us out of that law practice or technical field,or other work and says “here I have other plans for you,I’m going to give you enough light ro take one step,one day at a time”.Its having that mustard seed faith.Trust me,step out now,yes I know you can’t see where your going,but thats what trusting in me is all about.I believe with all my heart that if your reading this now,you have a dream, a vision,deep down inside of you that is waiting to be released.Let go and let God have control,he will guide you with his council.
