A positive haiku for your Tuesday
A new day begins
Full of opportunity
Don’t let your fears win

Destroying that which holds me back, which robs me of joy.
I will resist fear
For I long to seek out joy
And find potential
I’ve let fear run my life far too long. Fear of failure, of rejection. This paralyzes, destroying opportunity. This I resist.
