I'm Not Afraid - I'm Fearless

I'm Not Afraid - I'm Fearless

      Yeah, I'm fearless, all right. Is that someone staring into a window at night as I pass by it? My heart begins to really race. I pause for a second to gather the courage to take a step back and look again. But, no. It's just my reflection in the glass. Heart pounding fear. Okay. No. I'm not experiencing that all the time. But why haven't I decided and taken action yet?
      Sometimes life seems like we're either on the platform, observing, or in the fast moving train blurring by. Are you driving, or being driven by fear, anxiety or even a sense of warning or other cause for delay. Those butterflies in my stomach always seem to go away when I just simply change my thoughts to something else. Hey, there's a shiny object over there!
      Having dreams and goals is the first step. These are what I need to repeatedly remind myself for continual focus through self-talk.
      Taking action is step two. The decision has already been made. Take a quick look both ways, and just cross the street already.
      Dreams and goals, without action, are only wishes.
with gratitude and in service,
