What If I'm Wrong?: Navigating the Waves of Fear and Failure - Paperback

by Heather Thompson Day (Author)

Are you tired of living life scared or following the status quo? Heather Thompson Day challenges readers to remember what it felt like to believe in themselves before the world told them who they should be and what they should do.

What If I'm Wrong? explores the chasm between our dreams we once had and the reality in which we are now living. Writing from personal experience, Heather Thompson Day dives deep into what makes us feel overwhelmed or defeated by the hopes we once had, the disappointments we should have overcome, the goals we expected to accomplish, and the person we wanted to be.

Somehow and somewhere along the way, we stopped following our heart and started listening to the lies in our head: It's time you gave up on that childish dream. What makes you think you could accomplish that? Others see who you really are, so stop trying to be someone else. So we decided to play it safe and just accept our lot in life. And instead of feeling alive every day, we walk through our days numb and uninspired. But this book will help readers see how:

• Pursuing a painless passion means you have an insignificant dream
• Living a "normal" life is scarier than taking risks and embracing the unknown
• Being vulnerable and admitting mistakes can lead to success quicker
• Embracing failure might be the best thing that ever happens to you
• Staying motivated and confident when things go wrong gets easier with practice
• The person God made you to be is waiting to live life to the fullest

Have you ever considered that the hardest things in life might be our greatest areas of passion, through which we find fulfillment in everything we do, from work to play to relationships to our faith? Fears and failures come upon us like relentless waves, pulling us to deeper water. Panicked, we believe we are going to drown. But what if we're wrong? Maybe God is teaching us how to swim stronger, to pursue greater adventures, to learn how to really live!
