FEAR

...AND IS IT WORTH HOLDING ONTO?

Sometimes we can let our lives be run by fear. Fear of not being good enough, pretty enough, smart enough - whatever it is, I'm sure you can think of word that comes to mind for the phrase, "I'm just not _______ enough."
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we constantly beat ourselves up? Are we afraid of change? Afraid of failure? Afraid of the unknown? 
What if we stopped thinking about all the negative 'what if' thoughts, i.e, "What if I fail?" "What if I fall" "What if I can't?", and start replacing them with positive 'what if's?" "What if I CAN?" "What if I DO?" "What if I WIN?"

I saw a great video this past week and in case you missed it, I'm posting the link here. Even if you did watch it, it's worth watching again. It's a high school dance team - no, they're not dancing to "All about the Base," or shaking their tail feathers - it is the most inspiring peace I've ever seen come from a high school dance team.

So, believe in yourself! I believe in YOU!
