2012—A Year without Fear

As the clock struck 12, I began to think on what I would do this year to make it a year to remember, a year of success… you know, a year above and beyond all of my years prior.

As I examined where life, or rather I, had fallen short in the years past, I was able to identify one recurring culprit...FEAR. Fear is the one emotion that nobody wants to acknowledge because they think it makes them look small. But, anyone who is truly self aware realizes that acknowledgement is a crucial first step, and must be followed quickly by continued confrontation until that fear has been conquered.

In order to make 2013 a year to remember, I WILL NO LONGER act, or fail to act, out of fear...fear of any kind. From this day forward, I will not be afraid of failure, or of success. I will not fear rejection or reprisal....man, bird or beast. Starting this moment, I WILL:

DREAM because ALL great things: inventions, business enterprises, even governments began as Dreams. Starting this moment I'll dream of the the life I desire to live, the person I desire to be, and the world I wish to live and love in.

Starting this moment I will ACT without fear. I'll do what I know is kind, just and right regardless of the repercussions; regardless of the perception and what might be said...because only God knows my intentions and only he can judge my heart.

Starting this moment I will LOVE without fear. I'll love those that are within my inner circle as well as those that I've never met. I will LOVE, because without Love, anything I do is empty and worthless. Yes from this moment on, everything I do will be founded in LOVE because the only thing in this world that is stronger than fear is faith... and faith is founded in LOVE.
