Why the heck do I do this?

Stephen Barnes the Diamond Hour Presents why the heck do I do this? Why do I send out these emails, post on blogs, and do these videos almost every day of my life? Well, a recent letter opens my heart and hopefully will help to explain why when you get letters like this, you just have to keep the work going. Now here's what the letter Dear Steven, I've been receiving your Diamond Hour emails for some years now. I read them and meditate on them, but never took any action. Hence I never felt the desire to take action all these years until today. Fear, laziness, lack of motivation are my excuses. I would always dream about taking action but never made a move. I purchased one of my courses, Mastering Fear and I must say, at first I wasn't sure if I'd learned anything until a year ago I had to make a decision to stand up for myself at work or continue to be harassed. I was able to use what I learned from the Mastering Fear program and get through a very trying time. And at the end I had the courage to stand up and speak out, make wrong right. And at the end I had the courage to also leave a job that did not bring me any satisfaction. I started a new job back in March of this year, a job that I thought I would like and maybe grow to love. I now realize I was playing it safe by taking this job, not ready to put in the work to become a writer, what I've always desired to be since my preteens. I'm turning 33 in seven days and my gift to myself is to start taking my baby steps. I have a question for you. Why do you send these wonderful, motivating emails out? Why do you give these life lessons to the public complete strangers? Is it your way of giving back? I appreciate all that you do because somehow your words in your weekly emails and online information are seeds that have been planted inside of me and I feel the growth taking place now. I pray that you continue to be a divine vessel in many blessings to you and your family with love, light and peace. Name withheld well, all I can say is thank you so much J. We'll just call her J. I share because I must. It is simply part of the deal. The universe gives to me. I have to pass it on. I see so much pain in the world connected to fear and lack of clarity. It would be like seeing a burning building with people trapped within, thrashing about, unable to find the exits. It would be almost impossible not to say there's the door. I owe so much to the teachers who shared with me over the years and many of them are gone. The only thing I can do to fulfill their trust in me is to continue to pass it on. If you want to find the door in your own life, the path out of loneliness, fear, stress, anything that is holding you back from your full potential, then I make you an open invitation.
