Sometimes when I sit down to write, I think of all the millions of other things I could be doing, should be doing, or think that I need to be doing instead of writing.
So when this happens, what is the block keeping me from writing?
It is the fear of reaching my true creative potential.
Why can this be a scary thought for so many of us? What would it mean to reach our true creative potentials? It would mean SUCCESS. And every coin has two sides. Most people feel they have a fear of failure. Well, the flipside to that fear is--Yep--the fear of success!
It may sound strange, but think about it. What would it actually be like to reach our true creative potential and be successful? Why, the more successful we become, the larger our failure, if it were to transpire, would be.
The further we get up the mountain, the longer the fall back down.
And what if we reach the peak? Could we keep up that sort of success on a steady basis? Or would we choke for lack of oxygen, way up there with our heads in the clouds?
The truth is, we won't choke! Not if our feet are still firmly planted on the ground--of our belief in ourselves. Our belief in our dreams. Our belief that we can manifest a life for ourselves that we truly, truly love.
We can do it. It is possible. I do it every day. The more I believe in myself and my ability to manifest, the more good things come in to my life, in multitudes, on a daily basis.
So, what am I waiting for? Excuse me, I need to go write that new article about the Healing Power of Animals (link to come!)....
Happy manifesting!
