What stops us from pursuing our dreams? What is it that holds us back when we are just about to take a step towards our dream life? You know that doubt, uncertainty and worry that sits in our stomach and causes us to freeze? Well that is fear and fear stops us from reaching our full potential. We dream of leaving our jobs, changing relationships, moving to a new city or state, changing careers or starting our own company. We get all excited and lie awake at night dreaming of how awesome it will be, then we never take action. In many cases we let others talk us out of our dreams as they offer their “expertise”. Fear is just an emotional reaction to a thought, and you know what? Most of those fearful thoughts never ever come true in any case. How many times has your mind played through the worst case scenarios only for them never to come true? Too many times right! Our real growth comes from when we stand up and challenge that fear and push through it. It can be very frightening, but as long as we keep moving forward, that fear eventually disappears and we are living the life we always wanted. So what is it that you are dreaming of? What do you really want deep down? What are you scared most of doing? Is fear holding you back from starting your own business? Is it holding you back from quitting your job? What is it? Take that leap of faith and move forward in certainty. When you move forward you gain confidence and the more confidence you gain the more momentum you will have and the Fear will dissipate. So don’t let Fear hold you back any longer. Take that leap now!
