"Too many of us are not living our dreams, because we are living our fears."
Less Brown
I'm sure it's not just me who can relate to this inspiring quote. One of my dreams is to be a published writer, but I think my fears of "am I good enough" or "who would want to read what I wrote" have been crippling me. The responses I got from my very first blog post was amazing. The things people picked up on helped me to see what my fears wouldn't let me.
I have an essay/article that I have worked on and off for a couple of years now. Today I announce to myself and the world that I plan on polishing it up, but not rewriting it, and then send it off for possible publication. I plan by the end of the year to have submitted this article and hopefully will be telling you the good news of its publication. I want to live my dreams, not my fears.
Today ask yourself if you are living your dreams or living your fears.

Thank you for the encouragement to all of us. Fear can definitely cripple your life. I read the courage in your realization and recognition of what fear can do. The Bible says "to fear not". I'll be looking forward to the article you mentioned as well as additional blog entries. Continue to live your dreams and in the process make others dreams come true as well!
You mentioned my blog entries helping to make others' dreams come true, well you continue to help my dreams come true with the feedback I get from people like you. Thanks for reading. ; )
Yay! I can't wait to read this article when you're done with it! :D
And as they say, "The only thing you have to fear, is feat itself!
Ahahha, I meant fear itself, not feat. Sorry for the typo!
