At times, I may be a bit tender
Especially when I am trying to go after something I'm really passionate about
You would think the opposite
But I get scared, fear of being judged, fear of not receiving approval, fear that others may steal what I'm going after, fear that I am doing it wrong, and the list goes on and on and on
You would think your passion would drive you to be a lot bolder than what you usually are
But that is not always the case
Sometimes your passion can drive you to be afraid, and to be timid, it can even make you weak
WHY???
Because it's something you are passionate about and something you want people to receive and understand
However, that is not the case
Your desire, your fire, your passion will not always be understood
And it is not going to always be accepted
That is the thing that scares me
I love what I do, but the question is, will others love it?
The answer to that is NO
They may not agree
They may not understand
They may want you and your zeal to go across country
BUT you have to stay true to that zeal you hold
Don't let the fear and anxiety of others weigh what you feel passionate about down
Don't let others take advantage OR become a disadvantage to what you're trying to do with those desires you have for you're passionate about
If people say no, pick up your passion and your zeal and move forward
Don't let the no's hold you back
That rejection will try to weaken you and cause you to give in, but you can't allow it
Even when you feel like saying no, because there will be times you question what you feel so strongly about, take a brief break, talk to God, rest that night, and come back at it again, feeling refreshed!
There have been several times I have had to do this, but don't defeat yourself
Stand up, Be bold
And remember, there is help
Something I am slowly learning and accepting
Truth be told, it is hard to express, share, and trust others with what you feel so strongly and passionate about
But God sends help
Just move forward in the process, use that faith HE has given you and keep it moving
