Once again I am going around this same old process. I am tired of standing in the face of success with fear. What am I afraid of? God gave me the plan and endorsement, so just do it already! But sometimes this paralyzing feeling of fear of success creeps up inside of me and I feel like a deer caught in headlights. Afraid to run and afraid to stand still.
I know I said earlier this year (and January isn’t even over yet), that I would walk by faith. I said that I would continue to move forward regardless of my own human limitations. But here I am again stuck in a place of overwhelming fear that I can’t do what God asked me to do. I know that sounds awful and I feel awful for saying and feeling it, but it is true. I understand that the key to being able to push past this feeling is prayer. I need to continue to seek God every minute of the day for direction, motivation, and clarity to accomplish my mission.
I wonder if others ever feel the same? Did those who have reach their moment of success ever feel overwhelmed with fear? I need to hear their stories of overcoming. I need to know what was the pivotal moment that released them to push past that moment/feeling? What was it that catapulted them to move past the fear and grasp the reality of success that they knew would come?
I really don’t want to continue on this circle of fear of success. I want to move past it and begin to walk in the purpose and destiny that God has ordained for me.
Today I am asking for your feedback, comments, and stories about how you have overcome the feeling of fear of success and moved into your purpose. Thanks in advance for your input.
