Dear My Fear of Failure,

How are you today? Me? I am great. I am busy thinking about what to say in this letter to you.

You see it’s been a great trip, but I it’s time we go our own ways. It has been an awesome journey for you and me together. We have missed out on lots of adventures by playing everything safe. Holding our cards for the next round because we are not ready yet.

What does it me to “be ready”? I have been fighting with that question for a while now. I think I have finally found the answer. The answer is not what you my friend Fear of Failure are going to like.

The fact is I will never be 100% ready for everything. Yes, most weekend trips to the cottage, I do remember everything I might and definitely will need. But that is from the experiences of forgetting something. And if I happen to forget my phone charger or socks, for the worn-out sneakers I mow the lawn with, I will survive. I have survived every other time I have forgotten something so far. In fact, I have survived everyone of my failures to date.

The bigger question is do I have everything I need to start building the life I want? Probably not, but I do have enough to start.
