Sometimes people are not sure whether to pursue their dream or just waiting for someone to give them a push. Just ask yourself you have something very promising and that may be very useful and helpful to others.

Overcoming Fear
Fighting for your idea or dreams? Why can’t you overcome that fight it’s because of the fear you have developed into yourself. You don’t trust yourself that you can do something awesome.
I will tell you my story, during this lockdown, I became very restless as I am that person who doesn’t like to sit down and watch TV the whole day. Now with lockdown, I had to do something to keep myself busy. I start knitting, I made some children outfits such as dresses and skirts and hats for adults, but I couldn’t dare show anything to anyone. My fear was that people would laugh or make jokes of my knitting.
Then, one day I went to buy yarn, I was putting on one of my hats. This young lady looked at my hat and said oh! that is a nice hat. After hearing that remark, I gained some courage and told her it was my creation. She asked if I was selling them, I said I haven’t tried selling them. She said you know you can sell them they are nice hats.
When I went home I took some photos of the hats and send them to some of my friends. People loved them and I have a few orders now to make some as Christmas gifts for their loved ones.
Nowadays, I just ask myself why didn’t tell people that I was knitting, it was because of fear and lack of confidence in what I was doing. Please do not let fear control your life.
take charge of your life and start living the way you desire.
Below are some of my creations, you may wish to order one.
