When my friend Lindsey asked me to talk about my biggest fear, the one pivotal conversation came to mind; a conversation that keep she running through darkness and reaching for the unknown.
The conversation was brief, but one brief conversation with a brilliant man is all you need to change how you think.
It went a little something like…
Me: I want to do [______________] and I can’t.
Him: What’s stopping you from doing it?
Me: I don’t know. I can’t explain it…
Him: I don’t know you well, but I can tell you know what it is. And I’m pushing you to articulate what’s holding you back.
Me: Okay, okay. I’m… I’m so… fearful.
Him: You’re fearful of being fearful?

My point was that you’ve basically done the whole Friends re-writing of Martin Luther King’s speech – “I kinda have a dream….but I don’t really want to talk about it” 😉
Buuuuurrrnn! You’re so right. Oh my goodness, I just got called out on the carpet?! Boom.
Come to California and I’ll tell you what it is 😉 Hahahahaha!
