The need to control is so deeply rooted in feelings of inadequacy. Is where we are really that bad compared to where we want to be? Where we are is necessary. It's vital, in its messiness and mistakes. What if it’s the mistakes and the flaws that create success? What if we stopped fearing the possibility of failing and welcomed it with open arms? IMAGINE... A world without limits. A world where fear of failure and negative perceptions don’t exist. Overthinking small things kills big dreams. If we are constantly seeking restoration from our fears by receiving affirmations from others, we hand over all of our power. What if we didn’t care how people responded to our plans? What if we stopped taking advice from people who are just as scared? What if we stopped trying to pattern ourselves after the work of others and listened to our own creative spirit? I challenged myself to stop being my biggest critic and holding back on my plans just because I wasn’t sure how they would turn out. I stop letting my fear prevent me from my peace.
