HI Dorlee!

Thank you so much for visiting, reading, and watching!

I agree that the concept of choosing love and reaching beyond our comfort zones are so intertwined, thanks for sharing yours.

Isn’t Carrey’s talk powerful? Who would’ve known that Jim Carrey was such a deep guy? On the other hand, I guess it makes sense, but you never know these things until you know them, right? That first argument about maybe you will fail has always rung true with me too – why not try to do what you love- the risk of failure is there no matter what we do.

Thinking again about reaching – it’s amazing how scary it can be to reach sometimes. Reaching out to others, reaching for a new goal. Fear can really keep us so stuck if we let it.

Here’s to telling fear to step aside.

Cheers,

Amy

Thank you for sharing your intention of choosing love [over fear]. I love the worksheet you created and the idea of considering whether future decisions are being influenced/made out of love or fear.

This ties in so well with one of my three words for the year “reach” as in reaching beyond my comfort zone. When/if hesitation appears, I will try applying your worksheet and/or question to help propel me toward the extension/love zone.

I also loved Jim Carrey’s talk! I especially appreciated these gems:
1) “You could fail at what you don’t want so you might as well do what you love.”
2) Risk being seen in all your glory
3) Don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart

Wishing you a year full of love!
