Good news but scared

today i found out i was being made a broker at work starting tommorow. for some reason the first emotion i felt was terror and panic. financially ive never had an opportunity like this but there is alot more responsibilty. i should be ecstastic but instead im a nervous wreck. scared to death. i absolutely fear sucess. also i resist change. my sponsor once said "its not change that hurts us, its the resistence to it." so true. im comfortable with failure because ive done it all my life. its like my default position. sucess is unknown to me and its very frightening.

me becoming a broker was not me imposing my will...it was God telling me im ready. i need to put my faith in God that He is leading me to water and now i just need to drink. im going to pray.

You know I got a killer job last July and after many many years of jobs I couldn't stand. . .it was about time. I've been there almost a year, lots of responsibility, wonderful people to work with and for, but I still fear "the end". I'm told to just keep working on me. . .dang it I'm worth it, I deserve good things, I can do this. All things are possible with God driving my bus!!! Good Luck and prayers to you!!!

Remember that and it'll be OK.

I'm patiently waiting for the day God gives me that chance. I'm actually struggling with finances right now. But yeah, pray, take action, let God figure it out.

i’m sure you’ll do great, the fact that you’re nervous shows that you care about it and that you don’t want to mess it up, mistakes happen but the fact that you care enough to fear it shows you’re willing to be into the work required to do well. Congratulations.

When I got my first promotion in sobriety, I made a similiar comment to my sponsor. She looked at me and in that sweet voice of hers said "sweetie, you've graduated, God is flying the plane now." roflmao just her way of letting me know I had come a llllllooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg way!

Congrats on becoming a broker. You will do great...........HP if flying the plane!!!!

Love and hugs,
