Jambo John!

I was recently humbled by massive fear that persisted for months, over taping some new video courses. In my mind, as the date neared, my worst thoughts were of myself utterly tongue-tied, having to forfeit the sessions, bow out in shame, and fly home humiliated. Really?!
In reality, I felt unstoppable, with some 10-15 minute continuous rants! It was electrifying. Afterwards, I couldn’t help but wonder, what was wrong with me that I felt such deep fear? It’s been a lifelong recurring pattern: irrational fear, followed by, “What was up with that? Why am I always so scared?” This time, however, I felt an answer well up, “Your fear helps protect you by having you over-prepare, plus it only shows up like that when you’re doing something for the first time," which was true, given the nature of the tapings.
Oh. Well, yeah. Right. Exactly right.

It's so obvious in hindsight, which made me think back to many other firsts: speaking at Toastmasters, speaking to 100 people, speaking at day long events, speaking before 3,000 people, being on live radio and live TV, writing my first Hay House book... It was true! And do these things scare me today? Very, very rarely. The fear was worth it. I love getting to do what I now do. Knowing what I know and how good things are, I’d have happily paid a far higher price, in fear or any other currency, to have the confidence and experiences I now have (that could not exist without “the firsts”).

Not that we should have to feel fear, but it serves a purpose. And I’m learning... I keep stretching myself, never saying “no” to an opportunity because of fear. And today, best of all, I am no longer plagued by thinking something’s wrong with me. That’s pretty huge.

Do you know what else I know, JohnThere’s nothing wrong with any of us, which is part of what we’re here to learn.
