The Only Thing We Have to Fear...

My devotional was about fear. Most of the time I read the devotionals and forget about them pretty quickly afterward but this one has stuck with me. I realize that I allow fear to keep me from doing a great deal in my life. Even thinking about fear makes me want to get into bed and not do anything.

I know that I should probably list the things that I am afraid of and begin tackling them. So much resistance to this! I really don't want to deal with this but if I am going to progress then I must.

Maybe I need a different approach. One way to approach this is to act as if I already have what I want and I am just doing what is necessary to obtain/keep the goal. Otherwise, I tend to talk myself out doing whatever I need to do because I don't believe that it will really happen. I think that I will give this new approach a shot. I'll keep you posted on what happens with it. If it works, great! If not, it just means that a new approach is in order.
