"Run towards your fears. Embrace them. On the other side of your greatest fears lives your greatest life."
The statement above is the polar opposite of how I’ve treated my fears. I’d run from anything that I was afraid of. Or at least I did. Writing this blog was a huge fear because I would be exposing myself. It’s like having your diary posted on the bathroom wall. I was afraid that I would be opening myself up to criticism or worse laughs, talk about fear. But, in truth what I found out is that I could quite possibly have something to say. It feels good to know, that I might bring a smile, a new thought or maybe a laugh to the person reading it. I have to say, this is has been a wonderful journey. It makes me think of how many other wonderful things I’ve missed out on because of fear. How many times did I go in the other direction and miss a great experience. This has been a great lesson. This is an opportunity for me to become fearless to look ahead to “the other side” of my fear. The fear that I had about turning fifty has now turned into a wonderful life changing experience. I wonder how many other people are not staring down the monster and are missing out. Well, I am embracing the scary and standing up to my fears. I’m excited to think, that I am in the process of living my greatest life.
