Don’t Let It Die with You

Is it time to face your fears?

My husband is one of the brightest people I know.  Yes, I may be a bit biased, but it’s true.  There’s not a single day that goes by where he hasn’t figured out how to save the world or build a better widget.  His ideas are endless and brilliant. This is his God-given gift.

Yes, I realize he has responsibilities that require his attention to be elsewhere, however, I can’t help but think that at the heart of the matter, something is holding him back from realizing his dreams.

Now it would be most hypocritical of me to lay pen to paper and not follow my own advice.  The story you are now reading did not easily come about.  In fact, I first had to overcome my tremendous fear of sharing my personal stories with the public.  And this fear was so great that I had to enlist a therapist, in order to address this overwhelming obstacle.

As each session progressed, I gently peeled back the layers of self-doubt, self-judgment, judgement from others, and most of all, my fear of failure and personal exposure. To be sure, there were days where I would ugly cry in front of my therapist. The extent of my vulnerability was equally matched by the depth of compassion from my therapist. And it was within those moments of tear-stained cheeks that I knew I had made the most progress in facing my fears. 

My therapy continued right up to the launch of my website, where lo and behold my short stories can now be found.  It was a day of celebration with party poppers and sparkling pear juice.

I am not a courageous person by nature. My husband deserves this honor, and this is the reason why I will continue to encourage him to take the first few steps towards shaping his visions into becoming a reality.

Is it time to face your fears?  Please do not allow your gifts to die with you.  We all have a special talent to share.
