Fear rarely introduces itself as fear.
More often, it sounds responsible, practical and even wise. It tells us, “This isn’t the right time,” or “I should be grateful for what I have,” or “I need to know exactly how this will work before I explore it.” Those concerns can be legitimate. There are real obligations, financial pressures and consequences to consider before making a significant change. But sometimes these reasonable thoughts become a way of avoiding any investigation beyond the structure we already know. They keep one employer, one career or one source of income responsible for our security, identity, purpose and future.

It may simply be whether you have taken the time to develop another source of support, possibility or direction before circumstances force you to do so. Which well in your life may be carrying too much?
