Fear of Failing...

So a few days ago I talked about failure and the fact that it is a huge emotion for me.  Well I also fear failing like many people I guess.  I fear taking that first step because I might fail and be disappointed in the end. So instead of trying and taking that first step I just don't do anything.  A huge step was starting this blog. I felt I would fail by no body reading it or it not being true to myself or many other silly things. Well I realized it doesnt matter if anyone reads this (although that is nice!) because this is for me. This is a place for me to put my thoughts somewhere. It may be crazy, sad, strange thoughts but they are mine and I need to claim it as such.

I do struggle with thoughts of failure alot.  I was recently reminded recently that I should look into doing more graphic artist stuff since I am good at it and I could get paid. Well I had thought about it, a year ago maybe, made up example cards even to list on etsy. I even created an account and a store. But did I list anything? No. Why? Fear of failure. Who would really buy these i thought? There are so many other people selling similar things, why would they choose mine?  The questions and self critisism goes on.  Sorry Nike, but i think I just gotta take the leap and Just do it.

So this week my goal is to list some items on etsy, I will I tell ya!

I also have a blog percolating that is hard for me. I as the writer would like to share to you the reader more about me, how I have come to be who I am. It is long and covers touchy subjects. I am not sure I will have the guts to post it though...
