Hi, my name is Esperanza Rey. Have you ever wondered, what fear of yours is holding you back? What fear is preventing you from reaching your ultimate potential, your ultimate dreams, or your ultimate goals?
Well, if you are wondering I've had that problem. So, I'm gonna share with you, a little story on how I overcame that challenge. Yes, I overcame it. Specifically, in my story, I wanted to start posting and create a following on Facebook. OK, and I started posting. Now I have to say it was challenging at first trying to figure out the structure, what to say, how to say it, and all of that. And then, I was finally starting to post. And I started to get the hang of it. It became a little bit easier. It was less time-consuming and it just… the stories started to flow. I start to say OK I think I've got it now.
Then a friend of mine said Esperanza, have you considered videos along with your post?
Well yeah, I consider videos. I hate doing videos literally. I hate doing videos. Why? Because it's almost like production. You have to make sure that you're looking good. You got the right makeup. You have the right lighting. You have to do your hair, so it doesn't look bad. Then you at least have to look decent on camera. Well again, it was like a full-size production. You were like well I don't have time today. I didn't do my makeup. So today I'm not posting. I'm not doing videos. Well, guess what several days have passed by without any posting. And I was like wait a minute… if I'm going to be so concerned about how I look or being judge or criticize or critique, then I'm never gonna do anything. Because no matter how good of a job you do, there's always going to be somebody who may not agree. Or like how you do it. Why you do it. And so on. I decided you know what, I'm just going to do it. No makeup. No hair. No clothing. Well, I am wearing clothing of course. But I'm not worried today if my clothes, are you know, better suited for me. If the colors are better for me or not. I just did it. You know what that's what I've learned. That unless you confront your fears. You will not get things done. The only way to overcome your fears is precisely to just confront them. Do it! Otherwise, you're getting nowhere. And I wasn't going to allow that to stop me anymore. I was not.
I mean, it got to the point where I was not applying for jobs online because it required a video. Now, how ridiculous is that. Well, no more. Here I am, “al natural”. And I will continue to post videos and posts. And guess what? It won't matter if I wear makeup. If I look better today or tomorrow. It doesn't matter. I'm just going to do it.
