About being fearless.
See, a friend of mine screeched at me recently when I was feeling blue and sorry for myself. She screeched that now is the time to push, to move forward, to be fearless. And fearless is what I want. But I want to listen too. Listen to myself, my innermost voice, my God Spark. I want to listen to my Highest Thought, not my deepest fear.
One thing I have heard my God Spark say -- loud and clear. I have a tendency to do a lot of things and finish only few of them. I will be starting less things. But I will be finishing more of them. Taking things through to fruition. Improving my skills. That sort of thing.
Dear blog, you know what I mean. I want to reap the benefits of my talents. I want to rejoice in my own creativity, not stopping short out of fear. When someone says, oh, show me more of your art, I want to have more art to show. My inner most self tells me that is a good thing.
I want to give more thanks for all that is. There is so much to be thankful for. And one of those things to be thankful for is friends that remind us to be fearless. Because there really is nothing to fear.

Ciao Diana! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!!! I understand you about fear! I've very often this feeling and I don't like it!!! You're right...I'd be nice starting few projects and then end them, but I think that sometimes we're nevrotic and starting lots of new projects is the way for not thinking!
I wish you'll find your energies and listen to your inner wishes!
Warm hugs
Vale
Hello Diana Such an apt piece ..today of all days....I feel fear quite a bit of the time, especially when I have to go way out of my comfort zone....I am going to Paris on my own, my friend cannot come, to cat sit for a lovely lady I met once in April..I do know a few other people over there from that trip, who will be there, just feel a bit panicky...:-)
Hugs for you, know how you feel, xox
Anne and Vale, my best advice on panic: Allow yourself to feel it, let it be there, and go about your activity. Panic is one thing: adrenaline. And a body can only produce so much adrenaline. It is a habit to pay attention to anxiety, to wonder why it is there, to focus on it. You should not ignore or fight it, just let it be there and basically say to it, " ok, panic, you are here, and so what". Panic thrives when you focus on it. Just let it be and it will go away. It will. even when it is bad bad bad. This is the best advice I can give you.
Your post read as if it had been written for me this very morning. I feel a bit overwhelmed having to deal with unfinished projects right now and I often have to remind myself to be fearless and go for it. Meditation helps, as is rereading the short book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra, which is handy to have on hand on the coffee table.
Good luck wishes from far away.
