fear

I've been talking about this blog for months.  I find excuse after excuse.  Anything to avoid the first post.  I can't decide on a title.  My thoughts aren't properly formed.  I don't have the time.  I work at a public company.  I can't talk about my  experiences. The thing is all these excuses are fear.  Seth Godin talks about the lizard brain in Linchpin.  The lizard brain controls the fight or flight instinct.  It prefers flight.  Fear takes over.  It's persistent.  It's all consuming.  It stops us from doing great things.  It stops our passion.  What if nobody reads my blog?  What if they think it's stupid?  What if they don't like what I have to say?  What if I fail?

Pay attention to the resistance.  Don't be afraid.  Overcome it.  One success leads to another.  Confidence builds upon itself.  I can do this.  People will read my blog and like it.  This blog is about me.  These are my experiences; my passions.  I don't do a job.  I don't go to work.  I make connections.  I create.  I problem solve and build teams.  I accomplish incredible things.
