It definitely hasn't been the easiest choice, but after asking a whole lot of "why not" and "could I really," I bit the bullet. I'm excited to hear about these big projects!

At least until I made a decision that I gotta just start doing the things I want. If I don't work for it, I won't achieve it. I finally published my first book. It's not perfect but it's done. So now I can move on to the next thing.
Plan and do is my new motto.

Fear that I will fail at it, fear that it won't be as wonderful as I dreamed it would be, fear that I will actually succeed – and then what? But you-know its easy to be afraid. It's easy to list all the reasons why it's not meant for me or for you. But that's not the way we were meant to live. Life isn't about wishing and dreaming. It's about being brave enough to do the things that are scary. So what if it doesn't workout? You've already been brave enough to move past the first hurtle, past your fear. You're giving it a try, you're putting yourself out there. A lot of people don't even make it that far. You already have something to be proud of.

I totally feel like this too sometimes. How do these people make it big in xyz when I've been working at it for years!? Fear is usually holding me back. Fear of failure. Thanks for this girl. I needed some extra motivation this morning. 🙂

Yes. I don't know WHAT'S holding me back half the time but I feel like I DO put the work in (most of the time) and I'm not sure why I always feel like things just aren't quite working out.
I'm compulsive too. If I'm on the hunt for something (usually a purse), I can't stop.

Once again, you speak the incredibly inspiring truth. Side-note: I am the EXACT same way about haircuts. I need it within the hour of my decision. It is ridiculous.
