How To Take Your Fear + Use It As Fuel

YOU EVER HAVE A DREAM WHICH LITERALLY WAKES YOU UP
 

My dream involves envelopes and it's the reason WHY I keep an envelope framed on my desk so I can keep the dream FRESH in my mind... along with it's meaning.

The dream starts with me passing away, MORBID, I know. Keep reading.

When I leave my earthly body, I walk into this room which is completely WHITE and has a solitary white chair in the middle of the room.

I am motioned by this being, God, to sit down in the chair and as soon as I do the walls show up all around me... and I can see HUNDREDS if not thousands of white envelopes.

God motions for me to open the envelopes and in each one of the envelope is an index card with words written.  Some with simple tasks on them while others with HUGE dreams laid out.

Some have to do with me, my family, my friends.  Other index cards include dreams and outcomes for other people I have no idea who they are.

As I'm sitting down on the floor surrounded by these envelopes, God speaks for the first time...

"These are all the blessings I gave you and you were able to achieve HAD you only BELIEVED."

And then I wake up. Each time in a cold sweat.
 

People talk about their fears all the time.  Fear of other folks judging them.  Fear of failure.  Fear of not being enough.  Fear of ... x, y, z.  And my fear may seem silly to say, but I fear envelopes. 

But I do not let this fear stop me... instead I use it as FUEL.  This fear of not tapping into each and every blessing God has for me is why each day I SHOW UP determined to USE the talents God placed in my heart.

As my goal is when the time comes and walk into this white room, there will be NO envelopes on those walls.

God placed talents within YOU to serve others, how I am not sure, only YOU know... my only message for you is try NOT to allow fear of failure or even success HINDER you from using those talents.

Our goal should be to USE up ALL the blessings and talents we were given.  How beautiful would it be if we all could + did... 

Grit and Gumption,
