Fear

Yes Fear.  My compatriot in life.  Quite the little manipulator.

Last night i was going over my financials and working over my ideas.  Suddenly I got really overwhelmed.  I thought to myself "this isn't going to work, I can't take this on myself."  I imagined myself falling into familiar territory - becoming so overwhelmed that I am paralyzed.  I imagined myself crying and turning away from everyone in failure.  Feeling useless.

I realized at that point what I was doing.  I was creating my future by failing in my mind before I had even tried!! 

Wow.  

So at that point, I stopped myself and took a deep breath.  I worked backwards and realized that my financial numbers were incorrect and it was showing me bad information.  Negative information.  So I corrected them.  

More importantly, I corrected my brain! 

I can do this.
