Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt

[Jeremiah]

I have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks.  Each year of my life I have one major goal I set for myself, and this year it was to start a website and start making just a little money on it. 

I have it all set up and have been actively promoting it, and it has gotten some decent traffic. 

However, in promoting it I always feel the demons of fear and self-doubt rise up within me.  I haven't exactly had the most loving and supportive friends and family, but rather come from very narrow minded judgmental background.  I used to be a part of it, very arrogant and judging others.  Now that I broke away from that, those I once considered my close friends are the ones that are often quick to judge and criticize me. 

I've come a long way and while not totally independent of the good opinion of others, have gotten closer to it. 

Any advice or thoughts along these lines is appreciated.  But specifically I want to request any prayers/meditations/good vibes you have to offer.  There is definite potential for me to break out of this barrier and start making some money at this very soon, but it will take some work and some putting myself out there in a way that completely suspends fear and doubt. 

Thanks!

Jeremiah,  Your family and friends are most likely being very negative towards you because your new outlook on life threatens their firm belief system.   You are changing and showing them that there are other ways in the world than their way to think, and this intimidates others often who have refused to see other views and perspectives on living life.    They may or may not learn from your new persona.  The important thing is that you are learning to be a person living a life full of who you have become.   

Happy Birthday!  VC
