A Wren Says

I have been avoiding writing this post. I don’t have a good reason for it, beyond the call of the scroll. I just would rather watch videos and learn from someone else instead of having to put in the effort to draft something new. I would rather watch someone else pursue goals instead of risk failing at mine. Maybe that is a good reason.

You’ve probably heard people talking about the way that fear often keeps people from reaching their goals. When I notice those stories, it’s often about big fears. What if I lose everything going after this business? What if I face public rejection? That kind of thing is a clear deterrent, but I’ve found it’s the little fears that hold me back.

What if I don’t ever get to finish that episode? What if I have a typo in my email? What if I can’t come up with any good ideas for my blog? It’s the small moments of uncertainty that get me. These small fears are adding to up to have big effects on my life.

As they say, it’s the little things. I have to go about conquering the tiny, almost insignificant barriers that get in my way daily. What is it that I really fear, even if it seems silly to admit it? How can I overcome it to get started moving in the direction of my goals?
