Nothing to lose...

...and the world to gain.

I have a tendency to let fear hold me back.

Maybe it is my history of anxiety.
Maybe it is my fear of failure.
Maybe it is my fear of rejection.
Maybe it is the underlying thought of nothing being _______ enough.
Maybe it is a combo of all of the above and things that I can't even put words to.
Either way, sometimes, fear gets the best of me.

In an effort to overcome the grip that fear seems to have on my life at times, I have started asking myself this:

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

The majority of the time, the answer is this:

I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND THE WORLD TO GAIN.

I have made it a goal to work hard to make sure fear has no choice but to loosen it's grip on me.  After all, most of the time, I have nothing to lose and the world to gain.
