Are You Frozen?

Fear... 

I am a huge fan of John Maxwell. I love his books, I love to listen to him speak. I love his "Minute with Maxwell" (which ironically are often longer than a minute!)  But life has been weird to say the least and I've neglected John and have over 250 unwatched videos in my inbox. Well, today I decided I wanted to spend some time with John Maxwell. I go to the oldest email and the topic, FEAR.  Take just over a minute and watch as John gives some great insights about the dangers of living in your fears and what to do about them. 

Fear Holds You Back - Faith Lets You Go

This statement resonated deeply for me. My word for 2022 is Stretch. When that word came to me, I had NO idea just how stretched I would feel. No idea I would have to leave the organization that I've worked at for 36 years. No idea I would leave the church I've been at for 26 years. No idea I would be unemployed for over 2 months. Yet, here I am. 

Some days it is a real struggle. Fear. Fear that no one will hire a 57 year old "jack of all trades, master of none." Fear that I really can't start my own business. 

But then again, there's FAITH. Faith in my God. Faith in my God given talents. Faith in reaping the benefits of the sowing I did by investing in myself by becoming ICF certified and Gallup certified.
