If you’re not mindful during this “Season of Giving”, you can come down with a very scary case of the wheezy, sneezy, People-Pleasies. Or worse, the stuffy, scruffy, I’m Not Enoughies!  Might I propose a mindset shift that will set you free?  Your presence makes for the best presents.

Thriving is not about an absence of fear – you just take it with you in your pocket as you boldly dare into the beautiful unknown. Yes, living life wholeheartedly is an extreme sport: a helmet and pads are strongly recommended for the trips and falls that are bound to happen. But then the thrill goes through your spine and you can’t help but feel “this is so scary, but so satisfying!” And you want to do it all over again.

Fear is not static – it exists within us, as one of our valuable emotions.  That means that wherever we go, whatever we decide to do, we’re going to bring our fear along for the ride.
