I will not let fear cause me to think I am not enough.

I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, if we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last. – Ralph Waldo Emerson



Think of a time when you didn’t think you were capable of doing something, but then surprised yourself. How will you surprise yourself this week?

How will I surprise myself this week?  Wow, what a challenging question.  I find that I don't like this question. It pushes me to uncomfortable places.  If I surprise myself, I might be disappointed.  If I go for something, I might fail.
 
I started a business fifteen years ago.  I have had many failures in that time.  Some customer's who ended up not liking my company, some that deemed us as being not good.  Yet, as I have continued to move towards a goal of becoming the best, I have been surprised that we have in fact moved and that during the movement, I have enjoyed the process.
 
So this week I will dare to work on a project that feels overwhelming to me.  I am going to first work on what being done will look like, I will do this with one of my employee's who does this type of work.  Then after I complete that work, the work being creating a vision in my mind on what done looks like, I will move towards it. 
 
Trusting that I am enough for this task, that what is inside of me will be enough, and as Emerson says that what is inside of me is holy is an amazing place to live.
