I just ran across a blog…and am eager to share it with you.
Admittedly, I “ran into” it because the writer credited my book, Secrets of Six-Figure Women, for motivating her to blog. (Google sends me an alert whenever my name appears on the web.) But enough about me…
If you’re looking for an extra shot of courage, I urge you to visit http://amanda-whatareyouafraidof.blogspot.com/ Especially if you’re an aspiring writer…or an aspiring whatever….
All her life, Amanda wanted to be a writer…but never did anything about it, other than make excuses for why she couldn’t. After reading my book, however, she had an epiphany–she was just plain scared…of failure, of rejection, of not doing it right, of what others would think.
At that moment, Amanda realized, “We would rather stay exactly where we are—even if we’re miserable—because the thought of taking a risk and shaking things up scares us far more than a life of being comfortably numb.”
And at that moment, Amanda knew she had the “perfect subject for a blog—fear.” She started blogging with 2 goals in mind: 1) to overcome some of her fears, and 2) help others do the same.” And you know what? She’s actually doing it!!!
If you’re wrestling with fear (and who isn’t, to some degree?), I invite you to check out Amanda’s blog and let me know what you think!
