Niggles out of Fear

I drew this picture of ice stuck in the river's ebb circle since Carole related life to this image. Her reply on March 15th summed up a great observation that we can not ignore the "Niggles" that move us beyond fear. Well, this week I experinced seveal very strong "Niggles" to move on with my dream to make a living from a sailboat.

1. Carole mentioned "I ignored the Niggles to my perile....years can go by"
2. Time spent in nature last weekend confirmed how I need that in my life.
3. Some online clients told me "your help is the energy I need to keep going"
4. Today's Pray As You Go challanged me to face my fears

For the past month I have done nothing to move closer to my work dream. I need to do what I recommend to so many people, to use others to hold yourself accountable. So, I'm going to hold myself accountable to you Bloggers to come up with a new website design by the end of this month.

Break the Fear of Change

Spinning in circles, around and around. That's how ice trapped in an eddie, flows at the bottom of a waterfalls. During my weekend at Black River I could see for three days, from the cottage, the same piece of ice trapped in an eddie. It made me think about life’s routine and how difficult it can be to break out of a safe routine.
Walking down to the edge of the eddie I pushed a log with my foot to see if it would escape ebb circle, but it got pushed back by the force of the river.
I think it takes a strong push for people to break the fear of change. That push can come from the “inside”, a value or need not being met, or "external", by a person or event that makes you wake up. I think my need for solitude and my constant work with people is pushing me to find a different work environment. What kind of pushes have you experienced?
