Why is getting started so hard?

I've thought about this in regards to blogging and pursuing my dreams. I like writing and I assume I'd enjoy blogging. I've blogged a little bit before and I thought it went well. I like taking pictures and sharing them and a blog would be a great opportunity to do that. So why am I finding it so hard to get started?

Is it FEAR???

That's something to think about. In fact my friend Carla was in my office today and we were talking about that very thing. Fear. She believes I'm holding back because of fear. I don't have an answer for that.

It's been said that fear is the absence of faith. Do I have a lack of faith? And is it a lack of faith in God? Myself? My strengths? Am I afraid that taking that step would result in my wildest dreams coming true? Am I afraid of success? What am I afraid of? If fear is the absence of faith what am I lacking faith in?

Matthew 17:20

And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
