There’s a part of me that’s hopeful…Hopeful that things will be better…Hopeful that I will have success…Hopeful that my life will be transformed…In positive ways…As I work towards these goals…But there is also a part of me…That is afraid that this isn’t going to work out…Afraid that I’m going to fail…That I’m going to fail in spectacular ways…And failure really is no fun…And failure really is painful…And failure is really embarrassing…And failure feels like a waste of time…And it feels like a waste of energy…And a waste of effort…And I just don’t want to be caught in the pain of failure…It seems no matter how much hope I have…It seems no matter how big I dream…The sensation of failure…Dwarfs that hope…That fear of failure is so much bigger…That fear of failure is so much stronger…That fear of failure is so much more powerful…And I give myself permission…To know that failure is a possibility…But it’s not all or nothing with my failure…It’s not everything at once with my failure…Failure can arrive…Failure can be part of my experience…But I’ve been through failures before…I’ve successfully gotten through failures before…And I give myself permission…To move forward in a way…Recognizing that hope can be energy…That hope can move me forward…It doesn’t have to dwarf the fear…It doesn’t have to consume the fear…It simply needs to put me in a place where I can take action and move forward…I’m not going to fail all at once…And I’m not going to succeed all at once…I give myself permission…To tune into my hope…To help me to take the next step…I don’t have to do it all…I don’t have to do it all at once…But taking that step…Will help me to move forward.
