START! Lesson 7 of 40

Start. Just start already. I cannot tell you how many ideas died in my head because I talked myself out of starting. I am amazed at how much energy I used to kill a dream before it was even born.

Fear and self-doubt are serial killers.
Killers of dreams & purpose.
They trip us up before we even get to the starting line, that is, if we let them.

On my road to being forty I realize that I must be done with the excuses and all the why nots.
I am done with thinking of all the ways I could possibly fail.
I am done having tea parties with doubt and procrastination.
I am so over it!
I am making the choice to walk by faith and not by sight. Faith is the fuel that gives me the ability to START!
God has placed so much on my heart and by His grace, I am going to START because I have purpose to fulfill. How about you? Do you have a difficult time starting? Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you.

Blessings,
Anika
