Back on Day 14, I talked about this big idea I had—the kind of idea that won’t let me go. The kind that lingers, that keeps resurfacing, that refuses to be ignored. I’ve done more thinking about it, I’ve written some things down, and yet... I haven’t moved forward.
And if I’m being completely honest? It’s not because I’m too busy. It’s because I’m scared.
The Fears That Keep Me Stuck
I could easily tell myself I don’t have time, that my plate is already full. But that’s just the surface-level excuse. The truth is, I’m afraid—
Afraid that I don’t actually have the capacity to pull it off.
Afraid that I won’t stick with it.
Afraid that I’ll put it out there and no one will care.
Afraid of starting with just one step and not knowing what the whole staircase looks like.
And underneath all of that? I’m questioning what I even want when it comes to work, business, and all the things I have my hands in. I already juggle multiple businesses and collaborate with so many people—do I really want to add one more thing?
Moving Through the Fear
I know what I need to do. I need to sit with it. I need to pray. I need to take action. Because I know that confidence comes from action, not before it. I know that waiting for fear to disappear before I move is pointless—it never works that way.
But right now? If I strip away all the justifications and excuses, I have to admit: I’m scared. And maybe that’s okay to say out loud. Maybe that’s the first step.
Fear isn’t a stop sign. It’s just an indicator that I’m stepping into something bigger than me. And maybe, just maybe, that’s a good thing.
