Disappointed and going nowhere! Part 1 of the Light my Fire series

Apathetic?  Bored?  Disappointed?  Stuck?  Not making traction? Make a goal!  Then reach for it!

Things really do get started that way!

I just haven't because I think that I can mess up.  If I have a goal, I may not reach it. I'll feel like less. I'll feel alone!

Wait, what do I really fear?  Lack of support and encouragement.  

Ah, that makes more sense because I know that even if I don't reach a goal, it is still good to move forward.  Right!  However, a part of me has thought that I have to get it done, done really well, or it is not worth doing at all.

I see my track record. I do not get things done.  I start and then fizzle.  That is what is keeping me from starting again:  my lack of faith in myself and in my ability to get supported.

It is not wrong to want support and encouragement.  However, keep a dream in your heart, nourish it, live it, work it, move toward it!  Otherwise, your heart will grow faint, weak, demoralized, cynical, bitter, angry.  All that stuff that doesn't work toward living fully!

I want to live, not die!

I need to help my dreams live, not die!
