FEAR vs. Action
The other day I was reading an excerpt from the book Real Life: Preparing for the 7 Worst Days of Your Life, by Dr. Phil. This particular excerpt pertained to FEAR. A few things hit me as they pretty much described ME about a year ago...
1. "...you will settle for what you don't want instead of pushing for what you do want because you are afraid you might not get it and are scared of how much that would hurt."
2. "...you are afraid that if you don't settle for a "bird in the hand" you will never get the two in the bush."
3. "...you will tell yourself no over and over again because you don't want to face the fear associated with taking a risk...".
So, I have come to the conclusion that FEAR sucks. FEAR stops you from following your dreams. FEAR stops you from reaching your full potential. FEAR keeps you at "doing just enough".
If FEAR has a hold on you, you need to take a stand! Face your fears. Don't let fear keep you from the success that you know you are.
The way I faced my fear was with Action. First I made the decision that I was worth it. Second I stepped out in faith and took a risk. (Some thought I was crazy...I'm sure some still do! LOL). Third, I set up a plan stuck to it. Monday, do this. Tuesday, do that and so on. You see, when you are actively pursuing what it is you want for your life, there is no longer a place for fear.
So, I wish you much success in whatever you choose to do in your life and remember, fear only has control over you if you let it.
