walking in the realm of fear

Today during lunch I watched Iyanla and Tony.  They didn’t have to share the spotlight this time.  These people are so much better solo.
Anyway, today’s message to me is to be courageous. 
Iyanla said that she created a vision for the direction of her life, and where she ended up was better than anything she could have imagined.  The first step is creating the vision to move you forward, out of the box.  You have to keep the vision as you would a fetus (you are pregnant with vision), taking great care with it and keeping it safe and healthy.  You can’t tell everyone about your vision.  You can’t ignore when you feel that your vision is being harmed by your behavior.
Tony, on the other hand, went about it the enthusiastic way.  Get up, get physical!  Change your posture and position.  Use the physiology of emotion in your favor.  You need 3 things to succeed: strategy (the right method of achieving your goal), Story (create your own story that helps you instead of hindering you) and state (change your perspective and outlook).
Everyone has fear.  Instead of using the fear to make excuses not to take risks, take risks that, regardless of the outcome, will enhance your life experience.  Even if you fail, you will be enriched.  So, what this means to me is that I’m back to writing as revelation.  Yes, it’s uncomfortable.  No, it doesn’t matter if I sell a book.  Yes, it will make me happy.
