Intentional change is the most ferocious response to fear exerpted from "Lean Forward into your life" by Maryanne Radmacher... So, what am I afraid of, and how am I changing?
Why don't I ask for what I want? What unacceptable circumstances do I tolerate, and why? What do I need to let go of? What inappropriate burdens? What thoughts that weigh heavy on my spirit?
I am afraid of... silence, solitude
I am changing... by... not even knowing myself anymore, not having any real friends.
I don't ask for what I want because... I've been shot down so many times that I've just given up.
I accept... being woken up at 5:30 in the morning, regardless of when I went to bed
because.... I feel guilty if I don't.
I need to let go of... responsibility for other people. They can take care of themselves. I need to do the same.
Weighing heavy on me right now is... my future, my dead-end job, my lack of self-esteem.
