Fear Can Stop Us From Moving Forward

Hi.

I recently visited the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario. For a long time, it was the tallest free standing structure in the world. We had family visiting from out of town and going up the CN Tower is always a favourite...well for our guests, not necessarily for me. I have a fear of heights, but am determined to move beyond that. My belief is that fear can hold us back from moving forward in life and that we can miss out on many rewarding experiences. With the encouragement of my nephews I not only went up the Tower, I went out on the observation deck and even stood on the glass floor. This was a huge feat for me, as I had been glued to the inside wall of the building most of the tour. There was no way, that I was going to miss out on an experience with my family by waiting on the ground while they went up. I'd rather be a participant than a spectator, so I pushed myself beyond my comfort level.

So, you might be wondering where I'm going with this. As an Author, I understand how putting your work on-line can be something that takes you out of your comfort zone...or it might even scare you. But, speaking from experience, I've discovered that in order to get my work out there and to establish myself as an Author, epublishing was a great option. I do still dream of seeing my novels in print some day, but that dream is fading as I realize that epublishing is the future. So, I encourage you to take yourself out of your comfort zone and consider epublishing. It's your choice...do you want to be a spectator and watch technology whiz by, or do you want to jump on board and participate?

Regardless, all the best on your journey.

Lori
