All You Have To Do is Start

We live in an uncertain world, and the year 2020 was enough evidence. People could be here right now and then leave before we can even blink. It's scary to wake up every day because you don't know what bad situation awaits.

Daily, many of us go through a rollercoaster of one emotion – FEAR.

When we were children, it was easy for us to think of an idea and implement it without thinking of the repercussions. But it seems like we lost all of that confidence as we got older.

Now, as grown-ups, we spend months and maybe even years working on a project. Eventually, we throw the project away because we are scared. Of what?

What if people don't appreciate it? What if it doesn't work out? What if I'm wasting my time?

We have somehow replaced our beautiful childlike hearts with "what ifs?"

The truth is that you may fail if you share that project. Also, people may never pay attention to you.

But, because I’m saying it doesn’t mean it will happen. One thing you should know is that thoughts are just thoughts. The fact that you "think" something will happen doesn’t mean it will happen.

So, instead of thinking of if things will work out, start.

Start working on that idea you have had in mind for years. Start making that call to discuss that contract. Start sending emails to your prospects.

It's okay to think that things won't work out. I won't tell you not to overthink. However, from your place of fear, make moves.

I hope you are bold enough to do what your heart wants. The world is too uncertain for you to remain in fear of the unknown.

PS: The second part of this post will show you how to make moves from your place of fear. I don’t plan on telling you what to do without revealing to you how.
