Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.

-- Bill Cosby

So many times in life we allow fear to stop us in our tracks; the sad thing is we don't always recognize we are afraid. We find excuses and rationalizations. We create responsibilities, true and false, we must tend to before we can move forward.

We create challenges and obstacles so real in our minds that they manifest in our lives. Behind it all is fear. Fear we are not good enough.

Fear we won't be liked. Fear that if we do it once, someone will ask us to do it again and we won't be able to.

What are our excuses? Who or what is stopping us?

How many times do we talk ourselves out of what we really want?

What are we afraid of?

-- Iyanla Vanzant

I put desire above fear everyday.
