Driving to work this morning I was listening to a CD (I hate drive time radio) and actually heard the lyrics for the first time. Now don't get me wrong I had listened to this CD a dozen times already, but I had not "heard" what I was being told...

"Fear is only in our minds

But it's taking over all the time"

Track 1 - The Open Door, Evanescence

I was not giving the gift of attention to the words being spoken. And how many times do you have a conversation with someone, but you don't really listen to them? You are too busy working out the next line, the next comeback, the response to what you thought you heard, but didn't actually hear....

So today, give the gift of attention to everything that you do, and those people to whom you come into contact with. And stop wasting time on things that don't matter. Because that is what procrastination is all about - we fill our minds with so much clutter that we don't hear what is really important.
And that is why these words are so important today - because "Fear" is the one thing that is holding us all back. We are afraid to get on with our lives, afraid that things will not work out, afraid that we will fall flat on our faces and have to eat our words. Just think, how much more could you do if you weren't anticipating the outcome in advance...and expecting it to go wrong?
