“What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.” I think I live by this Tim Ferriss quote. It has become somewhat of a mantra when I’m fighting the urge to talk myself out of doing something for no other reason than being a scaredy-cat. No offense to cats, but sometimes I’d rather hunch my back, show my claws (that I don’t intend to use), and run.
Before you discount my posting or write me off, stop to consider what have you put off doing out of fearitalics. I know I’m not the only one, and in most venture and circumstances I’m as fearless as a super hero. But under those rare occasions when I’m showing my claws and taking quick glances--ensuring that the coast is clear--it’s usually due to some underlying anxiety that I have to address before moving forward.
I'm writing and writing, or at least it feels like it. Tonight I clocked several hours of work on Black Diamond and my final revisions on Caramel Surprise. Sigh...
I will keep at it, in the meantime I received this great video from a site that I've come to read often. The video is a speech made by Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat, Love, and Pray. It's a long video, about 20 minutes, but I enjoyed it. I watched it during one of my breaks.
