It’s a big scary world out there. I don’t know what I can do except work in a company — that’s almost all I have done my entire adult life. What sellable skills do I have? What can I offer to the world? Right now, I would tend to say nothing. And I feel the time pressure, as if tomorrow was my last day on earth. There are so many people rocking it out there, what place could I possibly pretend to hold? My own.
Slow down, breathe, release.
I can learn. It used to be one of my selling points — it must have come from somewhere, right? I can learn anything, fast. Let’s do that. What is it that I want to or need to do — let’s learn it. I cannot give up before I try.
The time ticking and the money running low — they are trying to corner me. But I am neither too late, nor too broke. Scared is what I am.
Hello Fear, my old friend. You are welcome to stay but we will share this ride with another dear one: Faith. She’s the one behind the wheel — don’t try to throw her off course, for we will all end up in the wall.
On the other side of your maximum fear are all the best things in life ~ Will Smith
