Yesterday I made a decision to conquer one of my fears-swimming alone in the deep sea.
The past few weeks I’ve been taking steps to conquer some of my fears because I realized that courage precedes confidence.
When we make the decision to step into our personal next level, it will not come without fear and emotion.
We are always meant for growth, yet most people remain stagnant. Fear holds us back in ways we can't even see.
I've identified a few reasons, I believe, are hinderances to taking huge leaps:
🔐We question ourselves - this can be a variety of ways from what we're capable of to our expertise to whether or not we're even good enough to deserve the success we desire. Lack of belief will always hold us back.
🔐We don't know what's possible - you MUST uncover possibilities you didn't know existed to step into your next level self. I've done this always through mentorship.
🔐Fear of failure - this can prevent us from even starting or from taking the action required to actually create success. And we interpret failure as a negative thing when it does happen, rather than seeing failures as lessons.
🔐We lack a strong enough WHY - and this reason WHY we want what we say we want must be bigger than ourselves. Only dreams of great impact are going to motivate you in the toughest times.
🔐You have to be clear on how much you WANT it and not accept less - if you hope to achieve greatness in your business/life, you have to want it more than anything and more than everyone else in your competitive space. Then, you have to take action every day that aligns with that desire.
I know I've held myself back around each point above on multiple occasions and continue to work on them. Which one(s) do you struggle with most?
