The fear that holds you back

How many of us would like to do something but find there's all these 'what ifs' to consider? Most of us. It's 'what if something bad happens' that prevents us fom ever finding out 'what if something good happens'.

We avoid risk because of the fear of failure, rejection and embarrassment. We would rather 'save face' than risk making a mistake. But everyone makes mistakes. What's important is not how we avoid the mistakes, but how we learn from them.

Think of all the successful or wealthy people that you know of or heard about. Do you think they've never made a mistake? Do you think that the fear of making mistakes held them back from their achievements? Obviously not.

So how is it that they're successful and you're not? Because they move forward on their desires, on their goals. If they fail then they just find a different way to get there!

If one path ends in a dead end, find a different path. That's all you need to do.
