😱 What kind of scared are you?
Book of TREE 2.07
For me, new challenges used to be jumping-off-a-cliff scary. Now they are rollercoaster scary.
When things go wrong at the cliff, the best you can hope for is a your name on on a plaque on the bench at the top. ‘She loved the open air.’
The worst that can happen on a rollercoaster is your keys fall out of your pocket into the Splash Zone, the kid in front of you returns his churros and candy floss to the sunlit world in the direction of your face, and you end up with a great story.
I’ve done enough things in my life to know that if I start, the ideas will show up. If I carry on, I’ll figure how to make the ideas work. The help will arrive when I need it. When I finish, sometimes I will have done something amazing, sometimes I will fail, most of the time it will be somewhere in between, all the time I will be ok.
The fear is still there, but I know it’s the kind of fear that people pay good money to feel.
We get to do this.
Poppy’s new album is pretty hard. But it’s roller coaster scary.

I posted this on my Facebook page (crediting you as the source.) lots of likes and good feedback from people.
I’m still working on finding the “rollercoaster scary” in the new. I’m not quite on a cliff, but maybe a two storey building…
Here’s to growing our comfort zones and finding the joys of a good rollercoaster in new things!
