GREETINGS IN PEACE. MAY THIS REPLY FIND YOU HEALTHY, OPTIMISTIC, AND READY TO EMBRACE ALL THAT IS PROBABLE IN YOUR LIFE.

I RECEIVED THE "COMMENTS" YOU POSTED ABOUT MY PIECE ON "TREPIDATION TOWARDS SUCCESS" AND I WISH TO THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS/FEELINGS ON THAT MATTER.

VOICE 12, IF I MAY, I'D LIKE TO OFFER YOU SOME INSIGHT ON HOW I OVERCAME MY "FEAR OF SUCCESS", AS I SEE YOU ARE STILL "HOLDING YOURSELF BACK" FROM YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. YOU MENTION THAT "... BY HOLDING [YOUR]SELF BACK [YOU'RE] PROTECTING [YOUR]SELF." IF I MAY ASK, HOW DOES THAT SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE? AT YOUR JOB, DO YOU MAKE A MESS OF THINGS BY ALLOWING PAPERWORK TO ACCUMULATE A-ROUND YOUR OFFICE/WORK AREA? OR, DO YOU PROCRASTIN-ATE IN COMPLETING THE THINGS YOU COMMIT TO? WHAT DO THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE SAY TO YOU ABOUT THIS? DO THEY FEEL IRRITATED AND/OR UNSATISFIED WITH YOU BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TRUST YOU TO KEEP YOUR WORD? WHAT ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL BELIEFS, DO YOU FEEL THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, OR HOW HARD YOU TRY, YOU CAN NEVER SUCCEED? I ONLY ASK BECAUSE THIS I HOW I USED TO FEEL, SO I CAN RELATE TO YOU IF THIS IS WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE. NEVERTHELESS, I FOUND A WAY TO SUCCEED.

VOICE 12, I OVERCAME THIS BY, FIRST, JUST STOP TELLING MYSELF THAT I WAS A SCREW-UP! THEN, I STARTED TO
1.

MANAGE MY "TIME" BETTER SO I COULD MEET ANY DEAD-LINES I HAD. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I LEARNED TO ASK FOR HELP BY DEVELOPING BETTER COMMUNICATION STRAT-EGIES WHICH ALLOWED ME TO EXPRESS WHAT WAS HAP-PENING WITH ME IN A CONCISE AND CLEAR MANNER. I ALSO STREAMLINED MY WORK LOAD, I "CLEANED MY PLATE" SO TO SPEAK, AND THIS ABILITY GAVE ME LESS WORK TO DO, HOWEVER, I STARTED PRODUCTING A HIGHER QUALITY IN MY TASKS AS OF RESULT OF THIS.

SO I ASK YOU, VOICE 12, ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE A BIG CHANCE BY HAVING THE WILLINGNESS TO CHALLENGE YOUR-SELF IN YOUR COMMITMENTS/TASKS? DO YOU WANT TO INCREASE YOUR CAPACITY FOR SUCCESS? IF I CAN DO THIS, IN SUCH AN ADVERSE CONDITION OF INCARCERATION, I DO BELIEVE YOU CAN DO THIS AND YOU CAN DO IT SUCCESS-FULLY.

VOICE 12, IN ORDER TO SUCCEED IN THIS THING WE CALL "LIFE", YOU NEED TO REACH OUT AND LET OTHER PEOPLE REALLY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU AND HOW THEY CAN BEST SUPPORT YOU. IT WORKED FOR ME, SO MAYBE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL "COMMENTS" AND/OR QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE IN CONTACTING ME DIRECTLY AT MY RETURN MAILING ADDRESS. I AM OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO CONNECT DEEPLY AND AUTHENTICALLY WITH OTHERS. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE.
PEACE,
