What's Holding You?

I found this picture on the Net, its taken from the Freedom Memorial in Philadelphia. Right away I just knew I had to scrap it. It spoke to me of trying to break away from the bondage we impose on ourselves and it got me to thinking about what kept me prisoner and why. What keeps me captive and crippled at time is Fear of Failure. Its hard for me to go outside of my comfort zone, for example there is a position at work that is open and my fear of failure is keeping me from applying. My current supervisor says Im just as qualified for it as anyone. What is it I fear, probably not living up to their expectations? Not learning as fast as I think I should, letting my bosses down. There is a whole set of reasons I think about, but bottom line is I FEAR FAILURE..

Fran, the page is very unique and moving, I think your honest and open journaling is pushing you already to another dimension,I will kindly say do not fear for a change, instead maybe embrace the moment whatever the outcome, live it at full, no matter the results you will grow and improve from the experience.

This page is wonderfully dark and powerful. I hope in making it you see that you are the light. Of course I hope you can trust yourself. It sounds like others around you do.

Oh hun. Firstly fabulous page! I absolutely LOVE it!! And secondly - I think everyone has a fear of failure but some people react differently and cope with it. I think people will admire you more for trying. Sometimes we have to think of what we haven't failed at so if we had had a fear of trying it, we would never be where we are now. There are also many things in life you finally do and wonder why you didn't do it sooner. There is a quote somewhere which I will find and share with you. Something about failure being part of a success story. Every success story has failure behind it or something. All that said, I too am crazy scared of failure and getting out of that comfort zone and scared of change!! Go for that job hun. Go fir it.
