What are you afraid of?

What is your biggest fear?

Is it thinking that everything could go wrong?

Is it thinking it’ll all blow up in your face?

Is it thinking you were wrong all along?

No.

I’ve been afraid of trying hard and still not getting it.

I’m afraid I would be in the moment, and suddenly, the real doubts sneak in.

I’m afraid to tell you I love you and then have to prove it.

I’m afraid you might love me back. Because what then?

Then it’s real.

I’m afraid I might succeed more than I’m afraid I’ll fail.

What if this all takes off?

What if I wrote that best seller?

Who’s got time for it? Now I have to go. Now I have to be there. Now I have to be organized. Now I have to say no. Now I have to be serious.

What if I could write every day? What if I could go out for the run every day?

I’m afraid of the preparation.

I’m afraid of discipline.

I’m afraid of being accountable.

I’m afraid of leaving everything that doesn’t serve me behind.
