Earlier in my career I found myself struggling with a project I was working. As I tried to figure out why, it dawned on me that I had let fear stop me in my tracks, instead of leaning into the joy of writing.
Some of the fears I battled included:
- Fear of failure.
- Fear of expectations.
- Fear of others and how I might be perceived.
No wonder I was having such a difficult time. The revelation stunned me. If there’s one thing I pride myself on (and that should have been my first clue I was about to fall flat on my face), it’s the thought that I’m not afraid of anything.
