I wanted to start a podcast back in 2014. I messed around with the idea but never took serious action. I let myself down. I let my fear get the better of me. Looking back now I realized it was Pride that was blocking me. I was too afraid of something that might make me feel humiliated. It was my desire to be seen as ONLY as smart, ONLY as knowledgeable, and ONLY as valuable that created the pride and thus the fear. I would not be okay with myself if I presented the opposite traits to the public. This was all happening unconsciously at the time. Since then I’ve learned to acknowledge both sides of myself, and learned to appreciate the “negative” side. The side I was judging in myself. Also learning to care more deeply about those I’m serving has helped me to overcome the fears and limitations.
