Afraid to Fail = I DO

its all summed up in those three words.  It applies to so many areas of my life. 
why don't i get curtains for my living room? i'm afraid I won't like them
why don't I just get a new swimsuit ? I'm afraid it' won't be perfect on my
why don't i try harder at losing weight? i'm afraid if I try, i'll fail
I spent a year in counseling (roughly $1,000) learning to think things through and not be afraid of my own thoughts.
i'm afraid of doing without that bowl of cereal
I'm afraid of not being able to calm down without that bite of chocolate.
I'm afraid of feeling deprived if we don't go all the way to Grapevine for a Krispy Kreme donut.
I'm afraid to try cause i might fail.
I'm afraid to try cause i might fail.

well, the only rebuttal to that is:  don't be afraid
don't be afraid to try
don't be afraid to try and do without that bowl of cereal in teh late evening
don't be afraid to take that little short walk around the block.
don't be afraid to take your lunch to work
don't be afraid to exercise two days in a row
don't be afraid to make new patterns
don't be afraid to make the same healthy decisions more than one time.
if you can do it one time, you can doing it again "one time"

If I can do it one time - i can do int AGAIN.

the phrase "dont' be afraid" can be translated into "be willing"

be willing to try and do without that bowl of cereal in teh late evening
be willing to take that little short walk around the block.
be willing to take your lunch to work
be willing to exercise two days in a row
be willing to make new patterns
be willing make the same healthy decisions more than one time.

the phrase "be willing" can be translated to "i can"  and "i can" can be translated to  "I DO"

I DO without that bowl of cereal in teh late evening
I DO take that little short walk around the block.
I DO take my lunch to work
I DO exercise two days in a row
I DO make new patterns
I DO make the same healthy decisions more than one time.
