IS FEAR HOLDING YOU BACK?
Staring into my computer screen, I waited for inspiration to strike. Searching the back corners of my mind, I hoped to overturn some untold brilliance or worldly insight. I found none.
They say you shouldn’t wait to be inspired to act, you should act and then you shall be inspired. Funny how that works.
This concept eluded me for years because I’d all but convinced myself that I had nothing interesting to say, therefore I said nothing.
For years I’ve known I would be a professional speaker and coach as well as running retreats, writing a blog and hosting a podcast.
Despite these cardinal truths, an insidious voice nagged from the sidelines and convinced me to play small.
My inner dialogue had concluded that I’m not engrossing nor my perceptions impassioned enough to be heard.
How crazy is that?
FALL 10 TIMES, GET UP 11
Change is scary. Diving head-first into a situation is scary. Fear of the unknown is scary. But the scariest thing of all? Regret.
Fear will consequently lead to indecision and paralysis. Sometimes the hardest part is taking the first step, yet the overwhelming anxiety of defeat can leave you spinning your wheels for months or even years.
Ask yourself, what’s the worst that could happen?
Lose your job? Can you find a new one? Could you learn a new skill set?
Declare bankruptcy? Would this be a time to find creative ways to generate a side hustle?
A relationship ends? Could this be an opportunity to focus on personal growth?
Behind on rent? Might this be a moment to re-evaluate your finances and budgeting strategies?
You “fail.” Can you ever truly fail? What is the lesson here? Can you strategize more effective ways to approach this situation?
Gentle reminder: Don’t let fear be in the driver's seat.
