Returning from the ashes - this is scary

Returning from the ashes - this is scary

It's been a long time. It's been a very long time. Well it seems to have been a very long time! Six months with very little input and it feels Scary!

The decision to 'pick up the keyboard' and put fingers over the letters is creating a feeling of regret at the moment, however, as I move forward I'm sure this feeling will subside and a feeling of exhileration will take over. - It will won't it? I'll let you know as I go along.

REALLY

This lack of participation has been self created and self destruction. It's oh so easy to put other things and people in the way of actually being proactive, I've done it for a long time. And then suddenly it returns, the feeling of wanting to be proactive, the feeling of enjoyment for oneself instead of 'pretending' that others, or other things need my attention first.

This need to believe we are more important to others is not correct. We are more and must be more important to ourselves first.
We see and hear it so often, in books, online, on WA, how we must put ourselves and our businesses first.

HOW MANY TIMES?

So how many times will I do this? Good question. - Returning from the ashes always is. Knowing that there is something else waiting for ones attention is scary and knowing that success is just around the corner is scary, BUT this time I feel its closer than ever.

Yes, the feeling of success has returned and the feeling of this keyboard is an awesome feeling, one of it's just like old times, when the keyboard was more than a friend. I've missed it.

Walking the ashes is such achievement, but funnily one that gets forgotten. (until my friend reminds me again, so the achievement certificate is now once again in view, daily)

Onward and upward.

Every success to this community, - and I'm part of it.

Loving the feeling of enjoyment again.
