Day 27

Fear seems to control so much of my life. I am finally realizing that when I allow fear to make my decisions for me, I am not being true to myself. To make matters worse, the decisions I make out of fear are never what I really want! At best, they are a compromise. But normally, they are what others want – not what I want! The silly thing is, I am an intelligent woman and most decisions I make that are not out of fear are really great decisions!

When my son and I were on our own, I came up with a really gutsy plan. We had the greatest two years ever! Then I allowed my inner 4 year old to come out and play on occasion. My decision making became cloudy. That little 4 year old began appearing more and more. The more appearances she made, the more that fear influenced my decisions rather than my own good sense.

It is that fear that has influenced my life for the last time.
