A friend of mine said that to me in a text message this morning and it just stopped me.

This friend of mine owns her own business, has two of the coolest little boys and a husband that is a golf pro. Very cool people, all of them. I’ve hung out with them a lot. Everything has always been so “family” at their house. Not perfect, but it always feels happy.

This morning when I got a text message that said, “my life is falling apart around me, Dan & I are starting therapy on Tuesday and I’m sacred.

Woah. It stopped me. I remember that feeling. Scared. What an awful place to be. Yet when I started thinking about it this morning, I realized the time I’ve spent re-thinking scared. I changed scared into passion for what I wanted out of life.

It is about the way I think.

But, the world we live in promotes scared.

I wanted to launch into something about how she should focus on all the good things right now. How all of those little things that seem awful, aren’t so awful. Because when you walk away and are scared, nothing gets better.

It made me realize how happy I am about all the work I’ve done on “scared”. How much that is a place that used to occupy my mind and that now I understand very clearly that I had to take action and I had to decide to focus on what I wanted… I left no room for scared.
