Is Fear Holding You Back?

Have you ever found yourself saying " I always wanted to do that but..." "I have a great idea for a business but.." "I'd like to change my career but..." You get the point.

Did you truly decide or did you let fear call the shots?  Fear is a story your mind plays, like a tape recorder playing an old message. Fear has little, if anything, at all to do with reality.

Many people have a fear of flying. But they will get into a car everyday without thinking twice abut the possibility they could be involved in an accident. The reality is that the chances of you dying in a plane crash is 1 in 10,000,000. However, the chance of you dying in an auto accident in about 1 in 6,000.

 

Take moment to reflect on opportunities that have come your way. Did you play it safe? Did you follow the urging of your inner voice? If you did embraced an opportunity, did you fully commit and take the steps to be successful not matter what? Or did let fear hold you back from playing it big?

The truth is you have the power to live the life you want. You can choose to let fear lead the way to the easy path and play it safe. Or you can commit, embrace the journey and accept the challenges you encounter along the way. The choice is yours alone.

As you ponder the path of your journey, I will leave you with this quote from Marianne Willamson:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
