How to overcome fear and make your dreams happen
Get the worksheet for this episode: http://santosj.me/HOvercomeFearAndMakeDreamsHappen
SUMMARY :
It’s never too late to make a new beginning for yourself. Every day is a chance to begin anew.
Doesn't it feel good just to know that?
Being static isn't in our human nature, so it's essential to your growth that you try all sorts of new things all the time.
We constantly question ourselves when change and new beginnings are the essence of being human.
Maybe you’ve wondered, “Could I ever start again?"
That's you battling with self-doubt. It's a strangely powerful fear if you think about it. Because it pops up no matter how well or badly you do something.
Your mind seems to be fighting you at every turn!
But I've written about self-doubt and confidence before and the key is to stack up your wins and see your life for what it is, a series of really nice accomplishments.
My battle with self-doubt is constant. But it's necessary thing that drives me.
Because I'd rather try something new and find out if I'm good at it, rather than let self-doubt keep me from ever leaving the house.
Self-doubt is just a pause that's looking to become a stop. Don’t let it.
Embrace your self-doubt.
Don't you want to see what a new beginning, a new you, looks like?
Self-doubt won’t magically disappear. So invite it in.
You can't control self-doubt and make it go away, you can only control how you react to it. Go toward it and take that first step toward mastering it.
Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest people in the world, talks about his struggle with self-doubt in his book, "The Snowball". All sorts of successful people experience it. It's here to stay.
The great ones rush head on toward it.
Can you start again?
Sometimes I hear, "It's too late for me to start something new."
But experience always beats time. Time doesn't matter. Experiences matter.
Sometimes when people retire, they don't know what to do. But they have infinite possibilities.
You can begin. And if whatever you choose to do doesn't vibe with you, you begin again. Hit the reset button!
Did you know that Colonel Sanders, of Kentucky Fried Chicken, got started when he was 60?
They built a freeway through his restaurant! Gone forever.
But he didn't give up.
He decided to franchise the concept of Kentucky Fried Chicken and use his secret chicken recipe. That concept turned him into a multimillionaire!
So I don't want to hear that it's too late to get started. It's never too late.
Search your heart. What is something that you want to start?
What is it that you really want to do?
Whatever it is, I can't begin to imagine, but you can begin to do it...today!
Here's your permission. Here's your proof. It's never too late to begin again.
Don't wait until the new year. The beginning happens when you begin. You can do it anytime. Like now.
