ACTUALLY DO IT!

Heyyyyy guysssss! You’re welcome to my very first blog post. I’m so excited to have you here(you don’t even understand how I’m feeling right now 😂). If you’re here, I’m sure you must have read my “Get to know me” post where I wrote a little about myself. If you haven’t, please do. It would give you heads-up on what you should expect from my blog.

Here’s the link to read up😁

My name is Vera Ibeh and I welcome you once again to my blog.

Today’s write-up is very special to me, so please don’t get offended if you see me write about myself a lot today. It’s mostly about me 🌚.

L A T E L Y

I find myself doing things I normally won’t do. I find myself not caring about people’s perceptions. I find myself making crazy decisions. I find myself making new friends. I find myself actually using my potentials. I find that I’m putting myself out there more.

And I ask myself where have you been all these years? What have you been doing? What were you thinking? What was the problem? What was actually holding you back?. And the answers came…

F E A R

I’m sure 99% of you already answered this for me.

Yes, I was afraid.

Afraid of trying

Afraid of the unknown

Afraid of people’s perceptions and opinions

Afraid of failing

Afraid of winning

Afraid to start something new

Afraid of my own potentials

Too afraid to put myself out there

Too afraid to ACTUALLY DO IT!

If there’s one thing nobody ever told you, it’s the fact that fear is the only thing that hates you, it’s the only thing that wants you down, it’s the only thing that won’t let you realise the truth about yourself. Now tell me, how can you even have anything to do with something that is as cruel as that. It shouldn’t even be a part of your life!

I’m not writing to inspire you or give you tips on how to overcome fear(trust me, it’s all up to you). Fear is like clay, the moment you start moulding it up, it gets stronger and stronger. But know this, you also have the power to destroy it.

I realised this truth not quite long ago and I’m still pained because I realised it late. I was blinded for so long, living in fear of the unknown.

Confusing myself with people’s opinions. Getting my thoughts mixed up with was going on around me(I was always in my head, I still am though😂).

Refusing to accept God’s truth about me because I was so sure it would turn out to be a lie. Gosh I lived with these!😭.

Writing it now I feel so angry at myself for doing this to me, and the only thing registered at the back of my head is “I never want to go back there. Like never ever!”

It’s a terrible place trust me 🤧 and if you’re still there you need to GET OUT!

Yeah you read correctly. You need to get out of that zone.

It kills you by the day.

You need to get up and start living your life.

You don’t have all the time in the world to let fear win. Infact, you can’t afford to let it win.

Fear should be the least thing you’re battling with right now. You need to get up and ACTUALLY DO IT!

The moment you make that decision is the moment you win. Making the decision alone is enough victory for yourself 😘.

Let me guess… I’m sure what most of you are thinking right now is “this girl is just telling tales, I’m sure she just want to build content”. Well of course I want to build content.Who doesn’t want that?🤷.

But just know, me being here, writing and actually posting this is enough proof to myself that I’m no longer afraid and that is my biggest joy. Knowing that I’m ACTUALLY DOING IT makes my smile even wider😁.

Here you have it, a short part of my life. There’s more to come though, but don’t worry the next one won’t be as depressing as this. I’m a happy person 😁

I made it my first post so I can always remind myself that fear only limits you. The old me would’ve never pulled this off. And also for my readers. This is just to let you know that nothing is too big for you to achieve. Don’t let fear win today. Get up and ACTUALLY DO IT.

When I say do it, I mean do that thing you’ve always wanted to do. Start that vlog, create that page, post something there, start that business, etcetera. Don’t just build your dreams DO IT!

Nobody will do it like you would and nobody can do it like you!

Never forget those words up there. The world is more than ready to take all your potentials. Just give it to them and you’ll be amazed afterwards.

This is already becoming an inspirational blog🌚. It wasn’t supposed to be so, but I can’t help it, people need to hear these words😩.

I think I need to apologise because this blog turned out to be longer than expected. So sorry guys, I’ll try to make it short next time 😘

Please like, comment and share. Thank you ❤️

Till next time

Lots of love

Vera❤️
