Is FEAR stopping you from LIVING YOUR IMPOSSIBLE?

Am I giving in to fear… 

My fears have stopped me from pursuing dreams and goals time and time again.  Fear of failure.  Fear of success.  Fear of overcoming the wounds of the past.  Fear of having the life a part of me knows that I deserve.  Fear of being recognized.  Fear of being criticized. Fear of not being perfect.  Fear of not being good enough… Fear. Fear. Fear.  

Today I look at fear in the eye and say, "No longer."  No longer with I let fear stop me from living the life of my dreams.  As I take daily actions towards my dreams I learn that fear subsides and the true me emerges.

Odds Of Success...

I think that many times I have let the odds get in my way of taking my dreams seriously.  I have always wanted to win an Academy Award for screenwriting and remember back to an article that I read nearly 25 years ago which talked about the odds of making a living at screenwriting.  The article said that the odds of being hit by lightening are better than ever making a living writing movies.  Wow!  That type of statistic can surely create a case for not following a dream.  My latest thinking is that someone has to write Academy Award winning screenplays, why not me?

Is LIVING YOUR IMPOSSIBLE an event?

I always wanted to write my memoir and first started writing it about fifteen years ago.  I knew it would be healing having grown up in a crazy household.  I started one version and then got frightened, didn't like the memories that were surfacing and so I stopped.  Fast forward … five years later and I started again.  I was very busy at the time and so I stopped again.  A few years after that, I started again and stopped.  Two years ago, I committed to finishing my memoir… I had the cover designed and this time it was going to happen.  I was fortunate to have lots of work coming in at the time and it was good money.  So… I stopped the process one more time.

I took an extended trip to Hawaii and met many people who had unfinished book projects.  I also met a wonderful author who has many published books.  I thought it was interesting that I was connecting with authors, most of whom were struggling to finish their current book.  What a great mirror…  I believe life is a process and things do happen in their own time.

The subject matter of my book is very dark, painful to write and I know it is the hardest thing I will ever write.  I believe that by not finishing this book I am holding myself back.  I do know this...  And so… here we are…

As of today, I am nearly 12,000 words in and shooting for 65,000.  Today I choose to continue with the project.  LIVING MY IMPOSSIBLE is a process.  Today I swam.  I will write.  I will spend time with my family.  I will spend time with friends.  I will journal.  I will reach out to someone I haven't connected with for a while.  And at the end of the day I will look back and say… This was a good day.  I am moving closer to living my dreams and my impossible each and every day.
