Giving Thanks: Tracey Montgomery

What I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving is my lack of fear. I
moved from Australia to the USA just over two years ago and there is
something about being away from home, that leaves me less fearful of
failure than when I am at home. I think that when I am near my family,
I have them there to support me if things go wrong, but being 12,000
miles away means there is no pillow to land on so failure is not an
option. Nor is dreaming small. 

To take the leap to
move to a new country, re-marry and start the business that I dreamed
of all in two years, is a leap of faith that challenges me everyday. It
is not about having the great American dream, or becoming rich, but
rather having filled my life full of the things that I deserve - and
because I believe I deserve an amazing husband and a career that makes
me jump out of bed because I can't wait to start my day. So this
Thanksgiving, I  am thankful that fear is not a factor for me.

I can so relate to that. Fear is not only paralyzing, it's counterproductive. It also sets us back because the amount of time we wasted being fearful is time lost being useful.
