Fear is a funny thing. We can rule our lives on our fears, fear of failing, fear of losing, fear of death, fear of life.
It’s so easy to jump straight into our ambition when we are facing a new beginning. We resolve to do new things, develop better behaviors, and stretch our goals. There can be excitement in the unknown, but there is also underlying fear. Fear of screwing up, fear of not making the right choices, fear of failing at our dreams. Fear is what stops the world from taking chances.
We start out with goals and ambition, and then so many times our anxiety gets in the way. We don’t know what we will do if we don’t succeed, and forget to think about what will happen when we do. Stepping out into the unknown is scary, and so few people will take the leap and actually do it. It’s not an absence of fear, but the presence of something greater, the need to be or do more than the status quo.
This year when making your resolutions, don’t make them in fear. Think of what you would do if you knew there was no chance of failure and then focus on that and achieve it. Life is so short, and regrets of those that live long enough to look back never have to do with the mundane, they have to do with the chances they didn’t take and the joy they didn’t spread. The only one who will miss out on living your life is you.
Until next time,
