Taking Steps

"Most fears arise from uncertainty. When we're stuck in fear, we can't put one foot in front of the other unless we know what lies ahead. Our life doesn't even feel like our own life, it's so controlled by fear" Dzigar Kongtrul

Fear is paralyzing. I have many regrets in my life, those unfulfilled dreams and plans, because I did not try. As I've grown older it has become apparent how much of a role fear played. I may have feared failure itself or the effort it may take or the time it may take, the list could could go on forever. Yet, I know from experience how fulfilling it can be to step forward and see where my steps will take me. My dreams and plans may only be the tip of a larger iceberg where bigger and better things will unfold.
