Avoiding the Risk Means Surrendering the Reward

For years, I lived in the quiet space between desire and fear. I loved writing, but I didn’t believe I was good enough. I told myself no one wanted to hear my stories, my lessons, or my heart. So I avoided the risk… and without realizing it, I surrendered the reward God was trying to give me.

Every unwritten page felt like a little piece of my purpose slipping through my fingers. I felt the nudge to share, to teach, to speak, to write, but fear kept me in the shadows. I convinced myself it was safer to stay silent.

But safe doesn’t build confidence.
Safe doesn’t strengthen resilience, and
Safe doesn’t activate transformation.

One day, something changed. I got tired of doubting myself. I got tired of shrinking. I got tired of letting fear write my story for me. And when I finally picked up the pen, something beautiful happened… I found me.

Today, I don’t write just for myself.
I write for you, the woman who has a dream tucked inside her heart and wonders if she’s enough. I write for the woman who has a story buried under years of doubt. I write for the woman who wants more but feels afraid to reach for it.

Because I know exactly what that fear feels like.
I also know the freedom that comes when you stop letting it rule you.

Here’s the truth:
Avoiding the risk means surrendering the reward.
And the reward isn’t always money or applause. Sometimes the reward is clarity. Healing. Community. Inspiration. Courage. A deeper sense of self-love. The joy that comes from showing up as your authentic self.

Your dream is calling you for a reason.
And it grows every time you take a step, even a tiny one.

So if you’ve been holding back your voice, your ideas, your creativity, or your story… consider this your gentle reminder: the world needs what you carry. Someone is waiting for your words, wisdom, experience, and your spark.

Take the risk, my friend.
Your reward is already waiting.
