Mini-Muse Monday-Facing Your Fears

Thanksgiving in the USA is this week, which means I have a six hour drive, one-way to my father’s.

I’m not someone who enjoys long trips in the car. If I could read during the journey, I would, but I get car-sick. That also means I can’t write.

Still, the trip is worth it. My father is getting on in years, and although he’s never read one of my books, nor is every likely too, he is proud of me in his own way.

I was thinking about that today; how important it is to encourage others in their endeavors. Life is full of well-meaning nay-sayers. Okay, there are just some negative Nancy’s too.

I might not ever have started writing if I’d told anyone what I intended to do. Instead, I wrote the book, and after it was written, I dared to share outside my immediate family and intimate circle.

As expected, some people were (and are) immensely supportive, and others …well, not so much. I still get harassed by judgmental people because the bedroom door is open in some of my books. Just this last week, two Christians thought it was their duty to chastise me, because I’m a person of strong faith too. 

I’m of the mind that people would do far better to examine themselves and work on being the best person they can be, rather than pointing the finger at someone else.  

That brings me to the point of this week’s mini-muse subject.

Have you ever attempted something new despite fear of others’ reactions, or have you refrained from trying something for the same reason?

Why is it we are so eager for acceptance and fear rejection?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Oh, and have a truly wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate the holiday.
