Fear Don’t Live Here.
Yesterday, I sat in the Chipotle with the team listening to Melissa discuss future plans and the next moves we were making. It was all fantastic news, but as I was watching her speak in my mind I felt the sense of fear. At times I catch myself feeling the pressures and questions like “can I do this?” or “will I disappoint?” start to float in my mind. I know I am very good at what I do for this company but you just want to give yourself reassurance. You never want to feel like you disappointed someone or yourself. However, that fear doesn’t last more than a minute because then it turns into motivation. After deep thought you say “you know what, you can do this. Look how far you have come already.” It’s a matter of turning the fear into determination. Once it’s achieved you’d feel like a fool for doubting yourself in the first place. As I grow in this company it’s to easy to tell that sometimes I let the pressures get to me because this is truly just the beginning of all the great things to come. I also know it’s okay to be scared sometimes, but to let it control your work or your dreams is the route I don’t intend to take. I have the power to make it and I have the best team to help me get there.
