Pizza Man – Fear Controls my Life

Below is a great story posted from Dan Millers 48Days Blog

Recently we had a Coaching with Excellence event here in Franklin, TN. On the closing night it seemed no one wanted to leave – so we ordered pizza to be delivered.
When the order arrived I slipped out to the kitchen to thank the delivery man. He tentatively asked, “Isn’t this the Sanctuary?” He proceeded to tell me that he’s been a reader of my 48Days materials for years, knows all about the Sanctuary, but then added, “Fear controls my life.”
Sometimes it appears that fear of success is stronger than fear of failure. The unknown is a scary place – staying with a familiar mediocrity may be less intimidating than trying something new. With no clear goals and no cheering from those around you, boring but predictable careers are born and maintained.
Delivering pizzas is a worthy occupation. But I really expect that most 46-yr-old-men see it as a stepping stone to something else. Don’t let fear keep you in a red shirt.
Is your desire for your dream stronger than your fear?

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
