I decided to participate in the start
experiment lead by Jon Acuff. The theory is that fear hates
community and we were asked to take a risk and just get started.
Sounded easy enough. Choose my risk and off I went: write in my blog
everyday and finish the autobiography for my adoption. I had these
grand ideas and then life happened.
Life as in fear: one assignment write
down your fears so I did and the next one: write down the truth under
your fears. Did that one.
As I worked on the assignments nothing
really changed for me until July 26 when I watched a video that Jon
put in the FB Start group and something clicked. I was waiting for my
confidence to kick in and that won't happen till I start.
So I asked myself what is the worst
thing that can happen: I fail. Is that all you for me universe?
Really. You realize that you're speaking to the chick that survived a
ruptured brain aneurysm and cancer. I should have this right?
So I thought what else: fear. Fear is
holding me back. I was sitting there and thinking I have a safety
net: my family and friends. The one's who were there cheering me on
as I recovered. They will be there no matter what. Back to Jon for
moment who said: fear hates community. I have that. So I realize I
got this.
Now just to do it. Taking the rest of
the day off to celebrate turning 45 and will tackle that mountain
first thing Tuesday morning.
