Fear and final chance
The biggest reason people fail to act and live the life they want is FEAR.
People become paralyzed because they fear they might fail.
They’re not alone - we’ve all got fears.
We’ve all had our challenges, setbacks and our struggles.
I have had struggles…many of them. I’ve feared failing many times in life (I tend to have perfectionism tendencies)
The biggest thing for me personally was to understand why I FEARED FAILING.
Many of us (99% in my estimation) FEAR failing because of what people will think.
What will our friends, family, co-workers, and social media think and say about our failures?
What helped me was just letting go of what anyone else ever thought of my life and me and this "letting go" is still a work in progress and easier said than done I know.
But I'm getting to the point where I'm just saying screw it more often than not now.
“If you FAIL so what?”
At least I tried, because the “WHAT IF” in life and the regret that comes with it is worse than not trying at all.
In my 21 years of coaching now what I have found is, people will judge you, make assumptions and think what they want about you regardless of what you do.
So, you might as well go out and “play to your own drum” and try things, even you fall flat on your face.
Talk to some 80-90 years old's when you get a chance and often times the thing, they say they regret the most is the stuff they didn’t do, the places they didn’t go, and things they didn’t try.
To look in someone’s eyes and see the REGRET of not trying is one of the saddest things and not caring so much what the world thinks of my success and failure is how I'm getting past my FEAR not trying new things.
Don’t let your fears get the best of you.
At the end of the day, I want you to look back on a life you truly wanted to live.
A life where you gave your dreams a chance.
A life where you tried everything in your power to make it the best it could be.
Don’t look back on a life filled with “regret” and a bunch of “WHAT IF” questions.
