If I work 7 days a week for 12 hours a day I cannot fail.
This thinking doesn't serve me...doesn't fuel the child in me that knows true success is born from true joy. It merely keeps me addicted to fear. (My fear tells me that I'm probably going to fail. But working to compensate my fear doesn't make the fear go away. It perpetuates its untrue truth.)
So I'm off! ~ To brunch at the Red Derby with my very best friends, which I almost withheld from myself this fine Sunday morning so I could work work work. I'm off ~ to rejoice in the only life there is!
Have you let fear take grip on your joy? If so, can we try breaking our addictions together? Starting now? In one tiny step? By playing?

I am also trying to break my addiction to fear. I started writing something in order to help, writing to an audience just in case my writing turned out "successful" - and as I write, I'm discovering that this thing I'm working on is absolutely not for sharing! Sharing may become a side effect of writing it when I feel ready, but the thing is to write. Write to live and live to write.
Art is stupid and awesome like that.
Mmm... I totally feel you. Some things are meant for holding close to the chest. For keeping sacred awhile.
I think I need to meet you some day. Love this post. Yes to breaking addictions! And to company in doing it!
I'm all for meeting kindred spirits! :) Where are ya located?
I'm in California. :/ But Jen Lemen is a good friend and who knows what the universe has in store??
I'm soon to launch a new website called Trust Tending, and your trust comments everywhere have me thinking you'd be a great person to interview (I'll be interviewing "trust tenders" - people who tend a sense of inner trust - regularly). I have a strong hunch our paths will continue to cross! :)
oow.. sounds lovely :) yes... i hoping i cross paths with many kindred souls as i ride my bicycle cross country next year! the universe knows how to work real magic!
