Fear is a sneaky little creature. It has a way of creeping into your head and taking over before you even know what hit you. It keeps you from doing so many things with the lies that it feeds you.
Stop and think about it for just a minute...
How many things do you really want to try, but you don't because you're afraid?
Maybe you want to try a new exercise class. Maybe you want to go back to school. Maybe you want to start a new career. Maybe you want to run a marathon. Maybe you want to reconnect with an old friend.
The list goes on and on, but there's only one thing on the list of things that stops you: FEAR.
FEAR of rejection.
FEAR of failure.
FEAR of the unknown.
But here's the reality of the situation: You are capable of doing anything you set your mind to. I know it sounds cliche, but it is so true! When you decide that you're going to go for it, the only thing that can stop you is YOU!
You have to decide not let fear control your thoughts.
You have to decide day after day after day that you are committed to achieving your goal no matter what.
You have to decide to push forward even if it scares you.
You have to decide that you want it more than you're afraid of it.
So, what is it that fear is stopping you from doing? Make a decision right now that you are going to step out in faith and move towards that goal!
