Crossroads
Every so often a day appears in your life that has the ability to change it drastically, either for better or worse. Today is one of those days today. The most important interview of my life looms and the chance of me to cast of the shackles that have been keeping me down potentially is in sight.
I cannot let the fear of failure stop me from success today. I was plagued by nightmares all night that played on my greatest fears. I have spent all morning either praying, hoping, or fearing for the events that will soon unfold.
Fear does not have to be counterproductive though. As a very powerful, and in fact dominant, human emotion, attempting to fight the feeling can result in loss of energy. Instead we must use that energy to better ourselves.
Today I stand at a crossroads for better or for worse. We all have known that feeling at some point in our lives. I fear for today for if it goes well, it will change my life forever. The fear is of course that I will fail, and thus have my opportunity crushed. I cannot forget that good may come as so many have done before me. So today I need to be brave. Its not the end of the world if I lose, but its the beginning of a new one if I succeed.
