View from my coffee cup

I knew I had to get my butt kicked, to launch myself into this new decade, within the first 48 hours of 2020, so I set aside 60 minutes to listen to Best Selling Author/ Motivational Speaker/ Entrepreneur, and, featured teacher in “The Secret”, Lisa Nicholson.

Do you recognize words, phrases and thoughts that literally “kick” your butt into action? I suggest you pay attention to them and, take appropriate action.

I know the words that smack my butt — Fear of Failing.

I have written about my fears, and how the fear of failing often times rocked my world. I wake up some mornings feeling on top of the world and at the end of those days I feel like a complete failure. Often times I stand and watch my failures dance happy dances around me.

But there’s something in me that is so strong, (and that something is in you, you just have to recognize the flicker) that always makes me cry out; “I’ll show them”. That is usually after I call fear all the unsavory names I know.

So, what are the fear words, phrases and thoughts that kick your but; that knocks you down and steps on you; then turns you around, look you in the eyes, and jerks you up? Know them for they’ll keep coming back at you, even as you do something gigantic, notable and financially exhilarating, It is a fight you should not back away from.

I can not honestly tout “know how to overcome fear” the way some people do, but I can tell you that fear is a liar. So, cast off fear, in whatever form it shows itself, send fear into oblivion where it belongs.

Have a prosperous New 2020.
