What fills you with dread?

French Philosopher Michel de Montaigne once said that he who fears he shall suffer, already suffers what he fears.

Deep, huh? And so very true.
What if the fear is false?
What if the fear is actually someone else’s fear projected onto me?
What if … is a fear in itself!

The feeling of fear and dread in my belly when I think about how I may fail to help all those that I’m meant to help because of my own fears and doubts is like that sinking feeling of having to do your least favorite homework at school.

But without facing those fears and doubts and doing what I need to do anyway, I wouldn’t be an award-winning, bestselling author who takes the fear (and time) out of writing a book! Nor would I be the author of two bestsellers, one of them a three-time-award-winning book.

Considering this realization, I’ll take the whole face, overcome, and conquer your fears path because I know that the other side of fears and dread are my dreams realized without the dread.

What’s the one thing about being an author that fills you with dread? How did you overcome it and what gains has it brought you? (It doesn’t have to be monetary gains by the way).
