Have You ever felt so tired, so frustrated that you just want to quit? “Screw it, I’m done!”? Then at the same time you realize you can’t stop without abandoning your goals and dreams. You remain still, paralyzed by confusion as your doubts and fears take control of your destiny. You may know what needs changing in your life, but you’re scared of overcoming the obstacles. You’re out of gas. You’re burnt out, tired, frustrated, and wondering where that “easy street” is people keep talking about. How life will be different in a new direction.
We all go through these feelings from time to time – it’s normal. It’s how you deal with controversy that determines what controls your future. It’s not about how often you fall, but how far you travel. When will you cast aside your doubts and fears and design your future through your lofty aspirations and optimism changing your life for the better? Change happens in an instant, it’s just a decision but the effects continue on for a lifetime. Make the change to consciously be accountable for the path you’ve chosen to walk down. Beat your fears by not making excuses that circumstances got in the way. Everyone has those everyday – even highly successful people. The show must go on! Now is never a good time until you make it important enough to demand results. Remember, this is your future life we’re discussing here. What do you want from your life?
Consciously changing your life for the better is hard work. Fear of hard work is laziness. Are you going to be lazy beating fear down, preventing you from overcoming obstacles that lie in front of you to change your life?
“Screw you fear, I’m better then you, and I will beat you down!”
Then Fear knocked on the Door.
Faith Answered.
No one was there!
How unexpected, the door opens to a beautiful new world with an abundance you only imagined you could know. But there it is, full out in from of you just one step away. It turns out that there wasn’t a wall of knowledge after all, but merely a challenge to overcome with education and effort. …And that hard work thing, it seems like as much effort as ‘packing the car for a weekend vacation’, when you work towards something you love. The effort is tiny compared to the happiness gained on the other side. Perhaps you can even learn to love doing that little bit of work because you love the rewards it provides so much. (Like the smile on grandma’s face while cooking with the grandchildren.)
The difference between ‘making it’ and being ‘average’ is not being afraid to take that one extra step into change. It’s the last step to achieve what you’ve been wanting to do for years, but fear, hard work, and knowledge appeared as obstacles in your way. But now, since you chose to see these merely as challenges along your path of change, you found your courage — your reason “why” — to overcome obstacles without fear. Like a tree blocking your path to freedom, you climb over the challenge and carry on. You now Embrace the next obstacle in your path because you now understand that each challenge makes you grow stronger along the way. Fear only has as much power as you give it. Give fear nothing.
And there you are, standing on the doorstep of change.
When are you going to take that step that changes your life?
