You will lose everything if you go for your dream!

I just had lunch with a lovely person, so full of honest energy and interest. She is going to Kenya, a trip that she will earn through her business. I can tell she will make it, walking through the unfamiliar rich green of Africa next year. I can also tell she doesn’t quite believe it. Not because she can’t make it happen, but because she is afraid of what will happen when she accomplishes her goal.
Fear is keeping you from your dreams! Long before a thought streams from your mind, deep in your subconscious, fear is working. Fear wants to ensure you are not hurt. Fear is protecting you from losing the things that you love. Fear doesn’t want you to wish you could rewind and go back to a better time.

Fear wants you to think about it for you go for it. You might lose everything.

I want the largest platform I can find to connect and help others reach past the fear into love. I want to empower and encourage as many people as possible. Every day I work toward that goal that will never be reached, the numbers will only grow larger. Every day I create communities and dream up challenges and focus my creativity to help others. And yet, there is a reason why my “it” has not happened already. It is fear. I’m not afraid of public speaking. I’m not afraid of trying new things. I’m not even afraid of NOT being the expert. But I am afraid.
I’m afraid of losing my position in my household. I’m a mother. I love to be home with my kids several days a week, unpacking their bags, giving them a snack, hearing about their day. I love the feeling of getting things done, the dinners, the laundry, the homework. I love the routines of my household which end with my husband each night. “Making it” will endanger all of that. I don’t have to overcome fears related to my business. I have to jump the barriers in my heart.

My next 30 Day Challenge is to GO BIG in my career plans of having an international reach in speaking and television. I plan on talking it through with my husband. I plan on admitting my fears of looking crazy. I plan on letting go of my patterns and routines and enjoying the ride. And I plan on living in LOVE, not fear.

You have a fear space. A situation that you love, that you don’t want to lose. Change may endanger that. Your fear is just trying to protect you.

As you go through your 30 Day journey, remember that space. As you speak and think, trace the thoughts and words backward deep into your soul. Ask yourself it is coming from a place of fear or love. And once you can hear your well-meaning fears pointing out your responsibilities, you can answer your fear with love.
