I actually had a phrase pop into my head: Brave New World. Perfect for my little sci-fi heart. In a book I read over the break, a character realized that he was allowing fear to keep him from being truly himself. This really resonated with me. I let fear hold me back far too often. Fear of failure, fear of not being able to finish, fear of not being good enough... the list goes on. And then this thought occurred to me - maybe I'm not perfect, and probably that's ok! If I fail, at least I tried! I learned something, I grew, and I have a funny story! If I succeed, I get to have an awesome "I told you so" moment with myself. It's all win for me no matter which way it goes. I will be brave and grow.
Wow, I love that Denice (I also LOVE Brave New World!)!! There’s so much truth to how much fear holds us back, and often holds us back from allowing our true selves (and best selves) show up! Thanks for that reminder!
