I’m 33. I don’t have a degree. It’s not required to be successful. My problem is that if I am not enrolled in some sort of program or a member of some sort of club with an itinerary, my level of motivation slows me down.

I am one of the most talented individuals that I know, but I have trouble believing that I can do things that are “nearly impossible” from my point of view. Others would probably think that to be ridiculous, but it’s a struggle for me. I am deathly afraid of confrontation, and it’s extremely difficult for me to ask people for what I want, because I don’t think that they would give me the time of day if I asked for it.

This is something I am asking God to change in my life. I want the courage to be successful in the areas I have been gifted without it being contingent upon meeting the conditions or expectations that I place upon myself.

I don’t know how to market myself.
