FEARLESS

For those of your that may not know me personally, it's a well know fact that I am arachnophobic. And when I say this, I mean grade A, certified, not just scared but can't even see a picture of a spider, ARACHNOPHOBIC. I would tell you stories and where it all came from, but I am leaving that fear in the past. One day I just got sick of being afraid, tired of having that weakness. It's annoying to me. Now let me just say that I have no plans whatsoever to hold or even get near a tarantula (still can't even look at one), but I am taking steps, baby steps, but steps nonetheless okay!

So in the past few days I have killed 3 spiders!!!

Now I don't have the luxury of forgetting about my fear because spiders are always around, but  aren't you sick of letting your fears dictate whether you can travel to other countries, see New York City from the Empire State Building, go hiking with a friend, go back to school (I'm so proud of you!!) or be the best version of you that you can possibly be? You've made certain decisions in your life because you were scared and now maybe you're not happy with the way things turned out or aren't enjoying life as much as you could be.

I know my biggest fear is failure in my music career. Because of that I spent 5 years of my life working on a back-up plan. I can not get that time back. So now I wake up everyday and fight the urge to go for guaranteed success in my back-up plan and take steps towards my own ultimate fulfillment. And I trust that I was made to do exactly that because every time my faith falters and my knees begin to buck under the weight of doubt his strength kicks in like reinforcements and together we move every mountain that stands in my way.

So if you are not happy with yourself or the direction your life is headed, have the strength to look your fears in the eye and make a change!!!
