Today Is: What Would You Do If You Were Not Afraid? Day

“It wasn’t that I had not seen the truth. I had. But I’d failed to find the courage to act on it.” – Oriah “The Invitation”

“….my real dream was that one day I would write something that people would read.” – Kathryn Stockett “The Help”

What would you do if you were not afraid? WOW! I could feel the heat rise into my cheeks as if someone were roasting coals inside my soul. What would I do if I was not afraid I thought, before I could even give the question deep thought things just starting pouring out of my mouth.

—     Quit my job to pursue a career I love

—     Pursue my dream of Camp Hope

—     Dream BIGger

—     Start my own business

—    Write for my job

  Believe in myself and the possibility of accomplishing my dreams

I would love to say that I this question has given me the strength to begin on doing my list but fear still has a death grip on me. I believe that until I am willing to allow faith to take over and push my fears aside I will more often than not be finding myself holding back because I am afraid. I must remind myself… What has FEAR done for you lately? Hold nothing back and pursue your dreams. What would YOU do if you weren’t afraid? DO IT NOW! There is no better time than today to begin on doing the things you have always dreamed of doing. Don’t let a little four letter word stop you from becoming the person you were designed to be; be that person!
