My friend...I think we are remarkably similar in many ways!
I do the same, often, write posts that are actually postcards that I send to me subconscious mind. Ideally they will help others who have similar limitations and fears, but ultimately we must work on our-self first before we can help others. This is a great idea because as you suggest this garners belief and confidence in the words that we have set out.
I have a 5 lever deadlock, 6 bolts and a sofa pushed up against the door, just in-case that pesky opportunity brings along a crowbar!
I have studied myself, my habits and my fictitious (and real) limitations and shortcomings and I think I have it all worked out. What I have believed for so long, is that I have fear of failure when it is actually fear of success. Why would this be...Protectionism, the great unknown after all instability can foster uncertainty and vice-versa if truth be told.
The worst part is, the thing we fear most could become life's most joyous and fulfilling adventure. We all have them from time to time...The little mind gremlins with their logical sounding, almost believable voices...To old, too young, too fat, too thin, too tall, too short...
Too full of excuses, more like!
People always talk about creating false ceilings...When you are talking to yourself under the table, the ceiling is far from false. What we could potentially lose compared to what we could gain is like putting a feather and a bowling ball on either side of the scale and being surprised that they do not weigh the same amount.
Do it my friend, come out, open the door and roar at the top of your lungs...
Come on opportunity I have been waiting for ya, I haven't got all day!!!
We crossed paths for the first time this week and I am incredibly happy we did...Can I officially say it is fab to meet you!
Do it! This month and just see where you end up...I think you may be pleasantly surprised. I am glad you reminded about @buddyup I joined the Discord along wit many others, but I am trying to understand one group at a time rather than try and juggle many badly all at once. I think that should be the next as it sounds amazing.
Take great care and again, great to have met you. You already know what I say...
You know how ppl get Curied, and @dreemsteem in her infinite potential for generosity has come up with Dreemied....we need to find a name for you.... When you come around and leave a spectacular comment..... We need a special name for it. What do you think...?? Steevied, Stevened?
I'm glad you're on Discord, will have to look out for you. No worries, take your time as you make your way around.
I just love the way you "read". I should say write...but, your writing feels so intimate and personal that you are felt in my reading. I only know one other person who has that effect on me ... It's @dreemsteem.
I see your 5 lever deadlock, 6 bolts and a sofa....and I fold. Time to step out, and maybe just maybe....success may not be a bad thing after all. Dunno....will let you know.
I find it really funny how you mentioned the fear of success as in truth....that's my biggest fear...I think I've mentioned it in a few of my posts too....hahaha, damn thing has a way of finding and mocking me it seems.
Oh, and before I skip off, puts hand out for a shake it's really nice to meet you.
