Sexy Suspense<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The A to Z April Blogging Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n

\"fire\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve all got that something in us. That passion. That FIRE. To do what we have to do. What we are compelled to do. We dream about it. Fantasize about it. Read books about it. Watch others do it. We have all kinds of excuses for not getting down to it. Why it’s not possible, or not happening. But really it’s fear of failure holding us back.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite books is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. In the story, a shepherd boy named Santiago sets out on a quest inspired by his dreams. He learns many lessons along the way which lead him to understand it’s more about his actions, the risks he takes, and what he learns along the way than about the endgame.<\/p>\n

“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.” Paulo Coelho<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.\u201d \u00a0Paulo Coelho<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s up to me. No one else can travel the path, take the steps, walk the walk for me. The journey is about the steps you take, literally and figuratively. And that’s what life is about – feeding the fire within you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
