In the past, when fear was all a quiver, I'd take it out of my pocket, look at it and ask myself whom I'd failed to please. This response to fear did not indicate high self esteem, based in self respect. Today, fear quivering within signals me to process differently than in the past. Today, I've grown to a place where, even when quivering fearfully, I remain attached to a brain that doesn't quibble over nothing ... Today, my thought processing center thumbs through whatever file is scaring the dickens out of my smile. Then, once I can see where MY thinking may be off target, I work to rebalance my mind until I feel full of the dickens, again (whatever that means). In this case, full of the dickens means I'm full of self confidence after communicating clearly with—myself. You see, each time my perception matches reality, I'm more apt to act in a well grounded manner, less apt to take off like a hot air balloon:)
In recent years, I've GROWN to feel self confident enough to question my ability to seek out bigger pictures. While seeking bigger pictures, fear is less apt to overwhelm my solution-seeking abilities. Today, when self confidence flows freely, fear is replaced by a sense of challenge to the point that mischief may be seen brewing behind my smiles. When self confidence feels strong for sound reason, and clarity is mine, I can be almost as outrageous as the hat I'm wearing for Halloween. What hat? Can't tell you, yet. Costumes in our family are kept secret for this reason: We have lots of fun surprising each other on party day. Yes, we party, outrageously, every year. I love Halloween for this reason: All of that outrageous creativity,, which we're taught to sift through a filter, breathes free! And for that reason, Halloween offers hard working peeps a treat that's hard to beat! ;)
