Old fears

Tuesday, May 20
There were fears you had six months ago, last year, 5 years ago. They kept you from taking action, whether permanently or temporarily. They caused you to give up on some goals and to delay others.
Yet when you look back, you realize the fears were lies. They were ridiculous. “Why did I think/believe that?” If only you’d had that perspective sooner, you would’ve taken a different path.
And yet today, there are fears keeping you from taking action. Delaying your progress, your goals, your potential. In six months, a year, five years, you’ll look back and realize how ridiculous they were. You’ll wonder why you believed them.
Except you don’t have to. You can realize today that those fears are lies. That they are ridiculous. That they are keeping you from who you want to be. And you can take action.
You live your fears or your purpose today. Let your actions be driven by what makes you better.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
