I don’t do this but I just had to!!! Enjoy the story peeps What’s Holding You Back? Hi, I’m Uwakmfon. One sunny afternoon, my sisters and I decided to treat ourselves. We went out on what we jokingly called an Amala date. Yeah It was my first time trying the popular delicacy, and to be honest, I loved it. Full and satisfied, we wanted to keep the day going with something fun ,something we missed out on during our childhood. We decided to have a ride. I was excited at first, even a little giddy. But just as quickly, that excitement turned into something else: FEAR Suddenly, a wave of doubt hit me and it speak; “I’ve never done this before.” “I don’t know how it works.” “What if I mess up or get hurt?” I told my sisters I couldn’t try it. But they encouraged me to. Even though my heart was racing and sweat was dripping under me, I decided to go for it. And guess what? I loved it. I laughed, I rode, I felt free. But more than the fun, I walked away with a powerful reminder. Here’s it; Fear is the only thing that holds us back. It ties us down, limits our growth, and keeps us from exploring life fully. So many of us stay in our comfort zones not because we lack the ability, but because we’ve let fear convince us we’re not ready. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to have it all figured out before you try. Sometimes, all it takes is one small step. One “yes.” One brave moment. Acknowledge it, face it, and then rise above it. Your freedom might just be one decision away. Don’t give FEAR a room in your life.
