This weekend I thought a lot about what limiting beliefs I have been placing on myself But the thought process was making me feel vacant. Cold and dead behind the eyes. Sometimes impatience is my worst enemy - it makes me feel as if I have to hurry up and make "it" happen NOW or "it" never will. Hurry up and heal NOW or I never will.
Today I took a few large steps forward with my business idea and plan....something I haven't touched since I started experiencing complications with my vision.
Have you ever been hit so hard with a burning desire to make something happen that it wakes you in the middle of the night? Do you ever get emotional when you think about the impact you know you'll have by putting your idea out there? Do you talk from your heart about your idea? Does your plan make you sick to your stomach with excitement and fear all at once?
Is the fear stopping you from doing anything at all?
Mine does sometimes. I'm definitely afraid. I most fear being without my eyesight before I have the chance to do what I want to do with my life. That fear often stops me from doing anything at all - it's my excuse. I place limits on what I can and "cannot" do because of my vision. One day I talk like I'm on top of the world and can do anything and the next I have fallen off and can be found hiding under a rock. Yesterday I was hiding under a rock. Sometimes I just wonder what will happen if I spend every dollar I have. Eat whatever I want. Stop going to the gym. Sell everything I own. Travel all over the world - rent a room from a stranger and live out of a backpack.
I'm not about to do those things, I just don't want anything in my life that holds me back. But I have a responsibility to myself to see my medical care through to the end - so I will. And strive to do whatever I can do daily to create my life and not limit myself by wallowing. I'm climbing toward the top today. My emotions through this aren't perfect. I'm trying hard to keep my grip tight.
