Agressive and Bold

I usually don't beat people in the head with scripture or even God. But I was reading Ephesians chapter 3 verse 12 (King James) and it said: In whom because of our faith we dare to have boldness and confidence of free access. I read that passage over and over again and put it into context of my owl life.

I don't think there is anything in the bible that says we should live afraid, shy or fearful. So if we aren't meant to live with those things than obviously we are live in privilege. I mean we have been given the gift and ability of living with free of fear. But if that's the case, why in the world are we all walking around scared to death. It's like we are walking on eggshells waiting for something. We don't know what it is but we are waiting. We don't know when it comes, but we wait.

Why? Why are we wondering about what may go wrong. We have been gifted the ability to live free. I don't know about anyone else. But I'm not living my life waisting time. I'm hungry to make a difference. But that's just me.

There are so many people that are so afraid of making a mistake that they don't do anything. What if I mess up? What if it doesn't work,? What if I fall flat? The what ifs turn into fear. Guess what? Fear stops progress. When there is no progress all those things we fear find us, because we got stuck.

I always right for me and hope that others don't mind reading. But being aggressive and bold has been an issue for me. I never was taught how to be a leader, how to be an entrepreneur or how to go out in the cold world and make it work for me. I was taught a lot of things. But when I stepped out on my own. The learning curve smacked me dead in the face.

So I am dedicating the next 7 days to living life with aggression and boldness. One day at a time. One decision at a time. One conversation at a time. What do I have to fear? Failure, people laughing at me. Looking stupid? I've already been there and done that by not making any decisions.
