Apprehension~ Moving out into the world, Doubt, Fear

This is your card reading for Thursday, October 20th/16.  Your card dropped out of the 'Gaia' oracle deck authored by Toni Carmine Salerno.  Your card is 'Apprehension ~ Moving out into the world, Doubt, Fear', and Toni's message for the card is this:
"It's time to get going. There is nothing to fear.  Take the first step--just do it--and you will find that all will work out for you.  The longer you procrastinate, the harder it will be.  It's understandable that you feel unsure of yourself; the first step is always the hardest. You have much to offer and you will realize this as you move out into the world.  Be brave. Even if you initially make mistakes, you will be well received.  Treat every day as a learning experience.  As your confidence increases, so too will your self-esteem and success.
You are a sincere and beautiful person, do not doubt yourself.
AFFIRMATION:  
I surrender my fear and replace it with love
I surrender my doubt and replace it with confidence
I see myself moving out into the world with ease
I give thanks for all I learn and experience
Each new day is full of possibility."

My message for you today is this:
Today's message really speaks to me personally, as I have recently stepped back into working on the oracle card deck I will be publishing.  While I had been in judgment of myself for not moving forward with it these past MANY months; I now see that the hiatus was necessary so that I could look at all that I had written to this point with 'fresh eyes'.  I must share that I am honestly so excited with what I have completed thus far!  To compose and publish can be very daunting, and I can see that I allowed myself to be overwhelmed by the whole publishing process, for one thing!  I understand now that there were experiences that I needed to have before I was ready to move forward...Divine timing!
Perhaps you have a heart-centered project, or a life change that you are reticent about moving forward with at this time.  For some of you, this message will be in regards to a relationship issue that requires some sort of action on your part in order to bring yourself peace about it.  Whatever the particular issue that comes to mind for you, you are being advised today that some level of apprehension about this is absolutely normal! Yet, if below the apprehension, you hold a KNOWING that you are meant to take action anyways, then stop procrastinating about it and take action!  When you make the conscious decision to move forward with something, despite feeling some anxiety about it, you will find that the Universe will conspire to support you in doing so.  Choose to see the potential and possibilities, rather than the roadblocks.  Pay attention to the circumstances being presented to you that will give you the opportunity to take that step forward.  Do not allow your apprehension to hold you back from taking that step and the steps that will then follow!
Recite to yourself, "I am courage".   Know that you are meant to learn and grow along the way and that there is no such thing as 'the perfect path'.  There are no 'mistakes', only 'learning experiences'---let this knowledge seep in and relieve your apprehension that you might possibly make a 'mistake'.  Let this quote be your mantra for today:
"Remember there are no mistakes, only lessons.
Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible."
