Fear Is Holding Me Back

This morning when I was looking in my mirror shaving, I heard a voice say face your fears. Which was a confirmation from a word that I received from one of my mentors, Preston Smiles. He has also given me a seven-day challenge that he wants me to complete.

You see, I have been trying to complete a task, but I have convinced myself that I don’t have the time. But, I find hours doing things that have absolutely, no added value to my life.

I constantly say I wish I had more hours in the day. It’s one thing everyone wants, and yet it’s impossible to attain. But what if you could free up significant time—maybe as much as 25% of my evenings, to focus on the task that really matters?

What if I eliminate unimportant tasks and replace them with value-added ones? What if I cut of the television, or stopped surfing the internet all night. What if I worked on my value-added task, when I wake up in the middle of the night, instead of cutting on the television. This morning I had to come to grip with the fact that, I have the time, but I am spending it on activities that add no value to my life.

So, why do I keep cling to tasks that add no value? Why is it that I can find time for everything except the thing, I know I need to be working on? Here is my answer, FEAR. FEAR of failure. FEAR of success.

I will write more on this tomorrow. But in the meantime, remember this, honesty is the first step to healing a wounded soul. Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul) www.unclepaulsthoughts.com
