Embrace the Chaos and Fear

Dare to imagine – when you allow yourself to start down the path there will be fear and self doubt.
Henry David Thoreau’s famous quote,  “If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
You need to start-to-start and do the thing that you fear and although it may be imperfect and slightly ugly you will have transgressed your limitations.
 
Start small, but start
Identify your fear, let it into your life, just a fraction of it. Allow it to sit there awkwardly and watch as the person you think you are feel it out, back away, circle warily and the re-engage.  Go slowly. Allow yourself to feel intense discomfort, as well as the pleasure personal growth. Approach the chaos with an attitude of self-care, not lack of caution.
Then plan your next move knowing you’ll take care of yourself every step of the way.
While some people say I create chaos, you have to invite it into your life to breakdown the limitations and wall you have set for yourself.  You can discover who else you could be and you are.
