Hey everyone, hope you all are having a good week so far. It’s amazing what you can do if you believe in yourself. I had that, “what if” belief in myself, but fear kept me from enjoying life completely. I had to change that and let go of fear, it was holding me back in so many ways.
I am pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and when that ugly feeling of fear enters my thoughts and spirit, I quickly remove those thoughts and reaffirm beliefs in myself and my goals. In Psalm 34:4 David sought God to deliver him from fear, and that is what we must do when we allow fear to enter our mind and soul. Ask God to remove fear from your spirit and mind set. No more fear and small thinking for this girl! I also used to think that because I’m turning 50 this year, that my choices were limited because of my age. Isn’t that crazy? We must stop allowing fear and feelings of being inadequate stop us from achieving our goals.
Currently, I do customer service work from home. It helps out with the household, little extra here and there. I have done customer service work for a very long time, and it’s time to take my skills and experience to the next level. I’m not afraid, just ready to challenge myself. I’ll keep you all posted on my plans very soon.
My health is also on my agenda. I’m exercising 3-4 days a week, walking and Zumba on Wii. I downloaded an app to my iPhone that helps me track my steps and the distance I walk. I have been walking 3 miles and over 4400 steps and I didn’t realize it! That’s why I’m so tired when I finish! My diet is doing pretty good, I try to make sure I keep fresh food, fruits, veggies, nuts and water in my daily regiment. Being transparent is a way for me to be honest with myself. I share to keep me on top of my game. Enjoy the rest of your day.
I will not go into details of with my past, but because of a rough childhood and then a few confused moments in young adulthood, I started on my path to my dreams pretty late in life. Now and then, I struggle with the thought that because I am about to turn 40 it is too late. Then, I have to remind myself that it is not. Adjust the attitude and conquer. And the “what if” fear factor is an everyday battle.
I do trust and believe in God and am learning to completely trust him. I had to realize that despite everything that had happened to me, he is the one I always turned to for support though, I thought he abandon me. So, if I want my dreams something will happen for me.
Hi Sharon, we have to remember tomorrow is for us whether we turning 40 or 50! We all have a past, but we have so much to look forward to! Much love!
