“Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do” H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I read that quote the other day as I was scrolling through the internet and it stopped me in my tracks. How many of us, have a dream and yet we don’t pursue it? What stops you, fear? Fear that you are going to fail, that people are going to laugh at you? Lack of confidence? Maybe you got it wrong and God didn’t really put this on your heart. Lack of ability? I am not as good as him/her. Time? I don’t have time. I am already so busy, how can I possibly do one more thing? I have wrestled with them all and for years all of those reasons and more stopped me. In fact they crippled me.
But in the cold light of day, they were excuses that I gave for not doing what God placed upon my heart. I was afraid. I was afraid that my life was going to change. I was afraid that I would be mocked or ridiculed. I was afraid that I would step out on this ledge and God would let go and let me fall.
blah blah blah…..
