I'm actually really scared. Fearful.
I'm afraid of failing, looking like a fool, and not preparing enough.
Although I've done this many times, it still makes me want to cringe. {thank you Toastmasters for making me a little bit more confident in public speaking but the thought of it still freaks me out!}
So what do you do when you start feeling scared or hesitant or worried that you might Fail?
Face it and do it anyways. I'm biting the bullet today and doing my best. Why?
Because I feel like not trying would be much worse.

I completely agree, I'd rather rail knowing I tried than fail without trying at all! I love that, 'Punch fear in the face'! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYup! This eliminates that 'I wonder what would have happened if I actually tried' feeling. Thanks for visiting :)
DeleteI love it - punching fear in the face. I have a lot of things that I'm fearful about recently but I always remind myself that if I wasn't afraid, I wouldn't be growing
ReplyDeleteA great statement! "If I wasn't afraid, I wouldn't be growing" I love it.
DeleteYou are one of the most fearless women I know :) I'm proud of having a friend who takes such giant steps and is still humble enough to admit she has fears like everyone else. It's the approach you take toward them that makes the difference!
ReplyDelete-Debbie!
Debbie!! Thank you so much for always supporting me and my crazy antics. We've got to stay fearless in this world to live our dreams! :) Love you!!
DeleteGreat post .. and photos! We have a good bit of fear about our unknown future of living on a sailboat, but like you said ... not going for it would be much worse! I've been catching up on your blog ... love it! Your new volunteer position sounds exciting ... and rewarding too!
ReplyDelete10 years from now, you two are going to be SO happy that you are living out your dreams. It takes lots of courage to do what you guys are doing. The future is living in the now, and that's the beauty of it :) So glad to hear you enjoy the blog as of late! Always welcome here :)
Deletei'm a horribly self-concious person, and surprisingly enough blogging has definitely made me feel more confident. i'll always have that little voice in my head doubting myself, but then i just have to remember that God's in control and I've got to trust him :-)
