Fear

I know that everyone has something that holds them back. Back from living life to the fullest, from being the best they can be, from reaching out to others. 

My entire life I have never felt good enough. For whatever reason, in my mind, I am not pretty enough, accomplished enough, funny enough, interesting enough, skinny enough, etc. Yes, unfortunately, the list goes on and on. There are so many times when I feel crippled by these fears of mine that this might be the day that everyone else figures it out too or maybe they already have and just aren't telling me.
I don't want to be this girl. I have to fight against it every second. Overall, I am a really a happy person. I know that I am so blessed in so many ways and I truly do find the joy in life. I love to laugh and make people smile. I have the best marriage, the best kids and the greatest of friends. I guess we all have to have something we struggle with or it just wouldn't be life, would it?
I know that this is my trial. I know it is up to me to make weak things strong. It is so hard to figure out how to do that. But, I will keep trying.
