C.O.W.A.R.D.

Over the weekend, I had a talk with 3 friends, separately. After those chats, I realized something about myself - I am a C.O.W.A.R.D. at work. Suddenly, it all became clear - I had fear in voicing my opinions and in doing that, I created a blurred role at work. I was also lack in confidence in the role that was given to me. The little molehill I built is becoming to look like a mountain, unknowingly.

It was scary having to come to realization. I stand before two paths. Which road should I journey? The down slope, wide lane? Or the steep, narrow path? One is to remain where I am, comfortable going through the motions of life, which means no progress? Or one that requires me to work at gaining muscles?

I decided and resolute that I will NOT remain a coward. It's amazing. When I made that resolution, there were opportunities for me to speak to my superiors. No doubt, there were the initial hesitation in sharing my thoughts and how I feel. However, in fear, I remembered my resolution and learned to speak up.

I shared with 1 of the 3 friends and was encouraged by this statement - "True greatness, true courage doesn't lie in the absence of fear... but in our ability to use it and, in so doing, transcend the very nature of fear itself"

Ultimately, I learned that we should not limit ourselves because my limiting ourselves, we are limiting God to work through us. Letting go and letting God. Easier said than done but rewards are fulfilling.
