“ME” Monday® 8-10-2020 Fear of Regret

How many times have we hoped for “the light at the end of the tunnel”? 

What might we find there and how long will it take to get there? 

What do we WANT to find there? 

How fast could we get there if we had the power to choose? 

Jesse Itzler was asked about his greatest fear in an interview and said, “the fear of REGRET is greater than the fear of DOING it!” He used his power of choice! 

When I heard that, I realized how true that had been for me nearly a decade ago. A friend asked me, ‘if I can GIVE you an airline ticket, would you want to go to Australia with me and a group I travel with?’ WHAT? REALLY??? 

Then I realized I would be in a plane over water for 15+ hours ☹. Truth was, I was afraid to fly back then. A bigger truth was the only place in the world I ever wanted to visit outside the USA was Australia! What’re the odds she’d offer me this opportunity? I told her I’d have to let her know. Honestly, I was petrified about going! 

Ultimately, ‘the fear of regret WAS greater than the fear of doing it’! I accepted the generous gift knowing I only had to cover the local expenses, which back then was manageable. We visited FOUR cities! I got to visit the rainforest, hold a koala bear, meet Aborigines, and snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef! Having the inner power to choose allowed me to fulfill a dream and since then, I’m much less fearful of flying! 

So, what fear stands between us and that light at the end of the tunnel, whatever that may be for each of us? 

Why can it feel easier to accept the fear and be STUCK rather than face it and CHOOSE what we want? 

What are some of the dreams that you would like to fill? 

How would it feel if you could push the fear aside and tap into our inner power? 

If you could pick one small thing that could get you a step closer to selecting something for yourself, what might that be? 

When might you want to do this instead of feeling regret? 

Have you ever had the fear of regret when thinking about planning “ME” time? 

Which fear may feel greater? Why is this significant? 

It’s “ME” Monday®! This can be a first step toward reaching the “ME time” light at the end of the tunnel!
