The thing about having this website and talking to so many wonderful women is that you realize that fear is natural. Everyone feels the fear but Divas act in-spite of their fears; in fact, the become lionesses in the face of impossible odds. They climb mountains, open unconventional businesses in foreign countries. The beauty about being a Diva is being an awesome audacious force to be reckoned with. Embody your inner Diva--allow her to imbibe you with her fire and passion for living. No self-respecting Diva would ever let anyone tell her she can't do this or that; she simply does it and that's that. The cost of not being authentic to yourself is far more expensive that acting in-spite of your fears. The cost can show up in the form of bad relationships, negative self-esteem issues or even worse poor health.
I'm not going to get into why you should act because it isn't as relevant. ACT! ACT NOW! ACT OFTEN! When you want something, do not hesitate i.e procrastinate. Procrastination is slow suicide. Begin to take action on a major scale. When you are known as the girl that does less speaking and more action, others will begin to take you seriously and unseen forces will come to your aid.
I love the attitudes of movers and shakers. They wonder how. They never muse over whether or not their parents, loved ones, children will think. They simply honor the impulse to act on an idea and they move with surety and distinction until their ideals come to fruition-- no matter what the obstacles. Some of the women I have interviewed have had horrendous obstacles to overcome. Victory was not a street paved in gold for them but they persevered and kept going even though they were scared. A Diva will feel the fear but the courage of the lioness will rise up in her bones and press her to the battle fields for another season of war. When we see the fields of Elysian after the war, it's easy to believe these peaceful looking pastures have never seen war or lean seasons... no planting, followedd by a season of watching and waiting, and then followedd by a season of growth again which might alternate between growth and a season of watching and waiting again. Success is not for the timid or the weak. Success is for the warrior so strap on your breast plates and vow with all your might and being to be FEARLESS or else.
