Are you scared of the light?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."

I know that the purpose of my bloggy bloggyness is for my journey through fitness but when you take on a new task or journey there are a lot of things that go along with it.  There are doubts, nerves, the unknown, and all of these emotions and questions can alter your course.  When I think about it I am more afraid of my light rather than my darkness.  My darkness keeps me safe, it keeps me in my comfort zone, it doesn't let me branch out too far into the unknown.  And when I think about my light, the chance to be great, well that can be scariest of all.  If I become great then what happens if I fail?  How can I maintain it?  These are questions I ask myself all the time.  So along my journey to train and feed my body in a healthy way, I know these questions will be there.  It's not just a journey for the outward appearance, it's a mental journey too.  It's time to let go of doubts and fears that hold me back, that keep me from my light.  I need to alter my view from "If I become great" to "When I become great".  And I'm excited to be put on the right path with my new Coach, I'm excited to figure out more about myself, I'm excited to put myself to the test.  


Here's to the light in each of us,
Ash
