If we have nothing to lose

If, you and I, have nothing to lose and everything to gain, why do we hesitate? What are we needing to confidently move forward? In all honestly, the one thing that holds me back most often is me. 100% me. My decisions (or indecision), my lack of confidence, my fears, lack of resources and probably most often - imposter syndrome.

Perhaps like you, we have decades of experience. We’re good at things. We have an unmatched skill set. I absolutely love helping people. And yet, when it comes to believing in myself, I hesitate. Doubts fill my mind and comparison becomes a thief. I’m now paralized and unable to move forward. Can you relate?

I have Bible verses taped to the walls around me. Reminding me I am not created to be weak or allow others opinions of me keeping me from my life purpose. When needed, I can find reassurance in the Bible from the words of the God himself.

• Hebrews 4:16: "Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

• Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

• Proverbs 3:26: "For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught."

• Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you.”

In the meantime, let’s stay confident, keeping the faith as we move forward. In the meantime, I’m here - cheering for all of us.
