Fear can be transformed to courage. It can. It really can–
but only when you face it.
If I can face it you can.
Last year at this time I decided to be fearless–and do something that I had wanted to do, for a very long time.
Deciding to be fearless, actually increased my fear. It was like a challenge to my fear–and my fear didn’t want to back down.
I learned that deciding to be fearless, does not mean conquering fear. It means to go ahead despite fear.
My inner demon keeper kept sending me all manner of dire warnings, and predictions of doom and disaster–but I kept going. I fought my fears and won.
Because I realized I was more scared of not doing what I had always wanted to do–
than doing it.
Now I am looking at a new goal and getting ready to be fearless again.
I did it the first time
Fear can be transformed to courage–It can. It really can–
but only when you face it.
If I can face it you can.

i am trying VERY hard to NOT go and check out the Whispering Hypnotist….VERY hard
a marathon writing month in April sounds fabulous…sure beats November…which i think is the most ridiculous month for writing productively. but that’s just me.
i’ll send more drawings of Peeves the Nagging Butler…..:P (i named him just now and i think his voice sounds a bit like Vincent Price)
