How many of us are afraid to try…

To try what? Anything! Anything different you’ve not done before or aren’t familiar with.

New furniture arrangement, new color, new style outfit, new food, new activity.

New learning, new language, new computer program, new online class, new friend, new coffee shop.

Why?

Fear of:

• Failure
• It’s too hard
• What if I don’t like it?
• Might be a waste of time
• It might make things worse
• I might forget how I did it and it wouldn’t happen again
• What if I succeeded? How would I move forward
• What if somebody thinks what I am interested in is dumb

We could fight these fears in everything we do, but we don’t. It seems there are certain things that alarm us. If we can figure out what the problem is, we can deal with it and move ahead.

Let’s not be afraid to stop and think about what’s causing us to be fearful so we can excel in life.

What is one holdup area in my life and why is it there?

What am I going to do about it?
