Fears surfacing, or simply laziness?



So I had recently taken myself out of the personal blogging sphere to focus more on Cubed Gallery. But it got be thinking about the reasons behind my current stagnation - about why I feel so hesitant to throw myself headlong into chasing my dreams.

I get great feedback on all my pieces, they're well received by many people and I've already gotten interest from a few consignment stores. My goals this year are to submit to and be accepted to one or two high-end online consignment stores as well as be accepted to and participate in Manly and/or Bondi markets here in Sydney. I've virtually written my submissions for the con stores and only need to send them off. I've been accepted into Manly (but waitlisted for a jewellery spot to open up) and provisionally accepted into Bondi. All I need to do is send off my application and I'm in.

But I haven't done that. I've stalled. Why?

Perhaps I'm afraid of what may happen if I succeed? Sounds silly, but it kind of makes sense - it would really shake up the status quo of my life, wouldn't it?

Anyway, this has kind of crystalised it all for me and I'll try to push on. (Who says blogging is a waste of time?! It's cathartic and therapeutic! Life-changing perhaps...)

I'll keep you posted...
