You think you are alone in the fear…
And yet you are not…
And in fact, I will go so far as to say that you do not know fear as intimately as I do…
I see what I allow it to keep me from doing…
I can no longer deceive myself like you do…
I know too much…
For instance, this morning, writing this post took a lot longer than usual because I was facing the thoughts of “Who cares, Rosemary?”
“Why bother, Rosemary?”
“You are never going to reach your big goals, Rosemary, so just give up now”
And the thing is, it is easier to face these head-on demonstrations of fear…
They are obvious and so I can simply choose to ignore them…
It is the subtle fear that can get me…
The one that does not come out and say, “I AM FEAR”
It is just there…
Making you procrastinate…
Making you second guess and over-think everything before you do anything…
Making you too scared to click on a program payment button because you are scared that you will commit and fail…
And in fact, you run out of time and lose out on opportunities to do anything because you were listening for too long to the subtle fear…
It usually appears when you are about to do something that means a lot to you…
Or something that will make a huge difference to the results you get…
For me, the release of my latest program was delayed by several hours…
Because I was trying to get the perfect words…
The perfect tone of voice…
The perfect EVERYTHING!
And I was deep down scared that I would release it and no one would care…
And so I kept delaying and thinking and thinking some more…
Until finally my hubby simply said “GET ON WITH IT!”
And so on the first day of release, I released it imperfectly, spelling errors and all because I HAD TO get past the fear…
I refused to let the fear win and make me delay one more moment!
I share this because you are assailed by fear a lot of the time…
Fear of lack and making a mistake that will result in more lack and so you hold on to your current lack, instead of going for abundance!
Fear of being laughed at and so you stay doing the normal things people expect from you, even though it is soul destroying…
Fear of not being able to get the life you dream of, and so you do not try to learn new tricks or strategies to design the new life and so you get to keep your present one…
Fear of being left alone, though you already feel alone…
Fear of being unloved, though you have to hide who you really are, the passionate, visionary leader who wants to change lives and create wealth, and because you are hiding the real you, YOU ALREADY feel unloved!
And you unfortunately think that your fear is a real reason not to move…
You think it is valid and so you stay stuck in a life that is ‘LESS THAN’ everything you desire and even deserve!
You work freaking hard and you do not allow that hard work to translate into more of the good stuff you want, BECAUSE OF FEAR…
Fear to ask for what you are worth…
Fear that people will think you are mercenary…
Fear to do the hard work you WANT TO do, that of impacting more people and getting your own online business off the ground because it all seems too alien to you…
Fear, fear, FEAR!
And the sad thing is,
You think it is valid and so you make excuses for yourself…
You then look around you and you see that everyone else you know is also living according to their fears and so you think that you are doing okay…
Because you maybe, are doing a little better than they are…
MAYBE!
And you try to forget that you are not doing any of the things that you promised yourself that you would!
You want an online business…
You want freedom to work when you want, with who you want, doing what you want to do!
But you see the work that I am doing, you resonate with it and YET, you tell yourself that it will not work for you…
That somehow you are the exception to the rule…
ANd you do not see that it is just fear…
You tell yourself you do not have the money to invest and so daily, you invest your money in things that will keep you stuck in place but hey, they are comfortable and the usual stuff that usual people buy…
And so you stay stuck in the ‘usual’ place, doing more of what you don’t want to do and somehow think that change will happen by chance…
That one day, you will wake up and somehow, by some magic, spiritual bullet because you prayed hard enough and affirmed until you were blue in the face that your life will have changed…
I DID THAT!
I had dreams and a huge vision for as long as I can remember…
And yet, I WASTED SO MUCH TIME waiting for some miraculous change to come happen without my input!
IT NEVER EVER DID until I TOOK ACTION!
MASSIVE ACTION
DESPITE MY FEARS!
If I type in enough capital letters, will you hear me?!
Will you stop waiting for your life to begin?!
YOU HAVE TO BEGIN IT!
You have to step off the ledge of safety and usual-ness…
And do the unusual…
Face down that internal resistance and fear…
See it for what it is and remember that you have the Spirit of love, power and self-control so you don’t have to sit there waiting for something to happen, you can get up off your awesome arse and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
