Off the top of my head I want to blurt out “courage!!”
My self-esteem doesn’t lack, yet sometimes I do lack the courage I need to do/get what I want out of life.
Afraid of what people will say or think about me. Maybe that is a self-esteem issue? I don’t know.
This is an election year in my city. Some of you know that I’ve thought about running for a city council spot. But now that it’s time to put my money where my mouth is, I’m kind of scared.
Also, when I mentioned this to a friend, although not a close one, they questioned sort of my relevance, or my intentions, with a city council position. Which really made me wonder if I’ve got the chops.
Besides ‘I want to make my city a better place’, what do I have to offer?
Well I am passionate about where I live. I don’t like negative comments about my city. There are specific issues I’d like to tackle but don’t want to bore you all here and now. I know politics in general gets a bad rap but I do believe there are people who want to do good. I believe I’m one of them.
This has honestly been tearing me up inside. Should I or shouldn’t I? How will I decide in the end?
I need to wade through the fear and figure it out.
