Hope > Fear

Cat Grant should run for president. I'm dead serious, she's a much better candidate than the ones in the 2016 election. Aside from my opinion on this, last night on Supergirl, Cat Grant said some profound words I hope I will always remember and take heed.

"We can't let fear drive our actions."

There are quite a few things I could name that I'm afraid of. One at the top of the list are bees. Followed by pitch darkness, empty houses and the future. My career is important to me and I don't ever want to give up on my dreams whether professional or personal. Sometimes fear cripples me to the point of not going after something I want. When I submit a story I feel proud of and/or shows raw emotion, I get that sick feeling in my stomach. I toss and turn over whether or not I should send that piece in. I end up doing it every time because I know that if published, I will be one step closer to my goal.

Fear is a common enemy we all have to fight everyday and no matter what, we can't let it clobber us. We have to push past the things we are afraid of and think positive.

If your attempt fails, try again. Don't let it stop you from trying.

:D
