This has become my mantra lately. It reminds me that being scared is okay, but I can't let it stop me from doing something. Too often fear does this. It tries to tell us that we can't do something or we're not talented enough or knowledgeable enough. That we are imposters.
That's a bunch of phony baloney.
This Slice of Life writing challenge may be a bit like this for some of us.
Are you afraid that you will have nothing to say?
Do you feel like you shouldn't call yourself a writer?
Are you nervous to put your words out there for others to read?
Do you wonder how you will ever write every day for the next 31 days?
Well, I'm here to remind you...You CAN do it! You ARE a writer! The world needs your words and ideas.
So rise up and put fear in its place. Do those things you think you cannot do.
You've got this, friend!
I am inspired by your encouraging words. Best wishes for casting fears aside and proving you can get it done.
ReplyDeleteI always, always enjoy your Positive Thinking Thursday. Not only is it inspirational, but it always seems to catch me at the right moment. I've been telling myself a bunch of phony baloney lately, so thank you for telling me to push it aside. To you my friend, keep doing what you're doing because you're rockin' it!
ReplyDeleteEleanor was a wise woman, and you are too! The fear of nothing to say is always there, but we can kick that to the curb. Write on!
