5 Ways to Face Fear and Doubt
The only thing worse than doing something new, is trying something new for the first time. And, the only thing scarier than that is taking your first step towards your dream. It could be a dream that you have held dear to your heart for years, or only five minutes, it doesn’t matter. At this point in my life I believe that if it is on your heart and stays on your mind than it is for you. You already have the wings to soar (succeed) you just need the courage to make them flutter. Once you get the courage you will be flying in no time.
1. Sincerely pray for confirmation and guidance. If your prayer is sincere than your path will become clear, there is nothing that can subside fear like the feeling that God is on your side. Being on purpose is one of the greatest feelings ever. I didn’t say that everything will become easy. Nothing ever is. With assurance you will have the courage to forge through any and all circumstances.
2. Write down exactly what you are scared of. Than read it. Have you ever had a thought that stopped all of your progress? Just as you start to become comfortable with the thought and lack of progress that comes with it, someone shares that doubt out loud about themselves. Than you realize how ridiculous it sounds. Don’t get me wrong, all of the things we fear are real. But, most of them loose power when they get exposure outside of our mind. And about another 90% are dismissed when you examine them.
3. Ask yourself questions. Be honest with your answers. Ask yourself: How will my life improve? How will I feel when I accomplish this goal? Am I now the person that I was meant to be? What is my heart yearning for? What is the worst thing that can happen? Can I live with that? If my life keeps going in the direction that it is now, can I live with that? What are my would have, could have, should have’s? Why aren’t I doing them? Remember, it is never too late to become the person you always wanted to be.
4. Seek guidance. Whatever you want to do, there is someone in this world that has done it before. Everyone’s experience is different. The road you travel doesn’t have to be as rough as someone else’s. Sometimes, meeting someone that has accomplished your goal is inspiration enough to take your life to the next level. For others, getting advice from someone that has done it before can set them on a good path. Find that person, they may be glad to hear from you.
5. Devise a plan. You know what you think you are a capable of. Now is the time to even surprise yourself with your abilities. Set a high goal with a realistic deadline. Give yourself weekly assignments. At the end of four weeks, check your progress. Reward yourself for what you have accomplished. Reexamine your goals. Sometimes, we start on a dirt road, only to discover that it leads to highway of opportunities. With that said, you never where life will lead you.
Once those wings start fluttering you will be surprised at how you start to view yourself. The higher you soar, with each goal accomplished, more and more will be in your reach. Will you have fear and doubts? Sure. Those are human emotions that we all feel but they will be that much easier to push aside.
Have a good one,

Quotes of the Day
"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others."
~ Martha Graham
"If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember this whole thing was started by a mouse."
~ Walt Disney
"Do not wait; the time will never be "just right." Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along."
~ Napoleon Hill
