From fear to flight _ living your dreams
I always dreamed of becoming a writer, but for the longest time, I had no clear plan to make it happen.
I’d scroll through social media, watching others who had been building their craft for years, and instead of feeling inspired, I felt intimidated — even jealous.
At some point, I gave up.
Everything I saw online made me feel like a nobody. I convinced myself that I wasn’t good enough, and I lost the spark before I even started.
It took six long months — and a powerful webinar — to reignite my passion.
That experience brought me back stronger than ever. But looking back, I realized something: it wasn’t just fear that held me back. It was also my hope — the overwhelming desire to succeed, which felt impossible when compared to others’ progress.
Sometimes, our fears and even our hopes can hold us down. Yes, hopes — because when they seem too far out of reach, they can leave us frozen.
So how do you move past the fear? How do you rise beyond the pressure of your hopes and finally soar?
Here are 5 powerful tips that helped me let go, take flight, and grow:
---
1. You don’t need fear — but you do need hope.
Even when your dreams feel out of reach, never let go of hope.
With the right mindset and intentional action, no dream is too big. Your hope is your fuel — use it to power your journey, not paralyze it.
---
2. Your background is not a limitation
Where you come from should never define where you're going.
Your background is your starting point, not your identity. You get to decide the kind of story you want to write with your life.
---
3. Embrace the process with patience.
You can’t rush greatness.
If you want to become a skilled writer, you need to respect the journey. Learn. Practice. Grow. There’s no shortcut — but there’s beauty in the process.
---
4. Stay open to growth.
Don’t isolate yourself or get stuck in your own way of thinking.
Be willing to learn from others. Ask questions. Try new strategies. Growth comes when you’re humble enough to be a student.
---
5. Set yourself free and take flight.
Fear will always whisper that you're not ready. But guess what? You won't know how high you can fly until you leave the ground.
Let go of doubt. Focus on your purpose. And when the fear of “what if” shows up — answer it with “watch me.”
