Mind Over Matter

It’s unbelievable for me to realize what a person can accomplish in less than a year.  If you would have told me a year ago what I would be doing today, fear may have taken over and I wouldn’t be doing wonderful things for my family.

Fear can stop us from doing lots of things.  Maybe more like the fear of the unknown.  Before I had my son, I was more afraid, not because of the type of mom I would be, but  just because I did not know what to expect.  I have spoken to a lot of expectant moms that feel the same way.  Even once the baby is here, there is still fear of the unknown at all stages of the child’s life.  In fact, this fear should not stop you from accomplishing your dreams, this fear should make the journey towards those dreams more of an adventure!

I am sure, I know from my own experiences too, that there have been times in everyone’s lives that they think they can’t do something for some reason.  When they take the chance to do whatever it is, maybe go on a rollercoaster at a theme park, after the experience, they can’t believe they just went on the ride and had a good time.

For me, living on my own seemed scary at first.  I wasn’t sure if it was something I could really do with no problem because no one would be there in case I needed something.  Once I started living on my own, I couldn’t believe I could do it and it wasn’t scary at all like I first thought it would be.

Don’t let fear stop you from at least trying new things because you never know what the outcome will be.  What are some things you would like to try that you feel like you are not sure you could accomplish?
