Middle age crazy or New opportunities?

I have been doing a lot of thinking about trying my hand at writing “something.” I have purchased books on how to write, how to get yourself published, and how to make money doing this. But at the root of everything is a thought that I have no idea what to write about. It doesn’t seem like I would have anything to add to the tomes on leadership, or customer relationships, or developing strong teams. It has been written by folks with more credibility than I.

So what to write about? Maybe I am in the middle age crazy part. I want to branch out to new things, I feel like God is calling me to stretch myself, yet I am afraid to take that step out of my comfort zone. My Sunday school class and small group have really been pushing me in this area. “Get out of your comfort zone!”  But it is so comfortable! That’s way it is a zone! It’s bigger than just a room or a closet. It’s an entire zone! And how do you step out to do these new things with any level of credibility? I guess that is part of the trusting God part. People tell me I should write and share from experiences, but what do I know that would add to this body of knowledge on the Internet?

I really think this would be an interesting side trail in my life. Who knows? It might open other opportunities, or maybe It is just about sharing thoughts that others might be able to use to help them in their career, or their ministry, or just in their journey of life. Not saying I know it all (we know that isn’t true!), but I think I’ve been knocked around and been involved in enough things that maybe someone could learn from my mistakes.

What do you think?
