I did it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was just a hunch, but Oh Boy, did it turn out to be a big one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I pushed \u2018send\u2019 and the financial proposition went out toward a client-to-be, the old feeling was instantly there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sensation I dreaded, and always tried to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a sickening jolt, an immediate rush, a fierce injection of adrenaline and cortisol and all that stuff, straight into my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A warm tingling in my nervous system, somewhere close to my lower back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to call it fear, and dread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to fucking hate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until I decided to flip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to love the feeling that I always believed to be fear, fear to keep me away from danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to unmake the old connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the feeling actually tells me about upcoming adventures and fresh possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It IS a warning sign, for sure, but it warns me of growth, of learning, of getting to know myself better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of pending triumph, no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s automatically induced whenever I do something that seems to be just outside of my comfort zone, just beyond how much I value myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s a special sensation, something I always feared until I realized that it simply makes me aware of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feeling tells me that I am playing fully in the world, that I am taking a risk, that I challenge myself, and that I’m taking a chance on getting a big-ass \u2018NO\u2019 from someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It used to represent rejection and worthlessness, but I am turning it into a sign of power and might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living with this feeling is living with the chance to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more I feel it and enjoy it, the more I grow, obviously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more and the deeper I feel it, and truly love it, the more I try and experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a great feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the feeling of succeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I flipped the fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
