What’s holding you back? Have you been secretly dreaming of doing something wild and crazy – something that your friends would be surprised to know about? Why aren’t you making it happen? I know why. Fear. It’s the fear of judgment that comes from people who don’t understand. It’s the fear of failure. It’s the fear that those people might end up being right. It’s the fear of stepping into the wild unknown. All of it. And yes, it’s real.
What if we changed our perception of fear? What if we viewed fear as energy? Just energy. Think about it. When we are afraid, we become more alert and adrenaline courses through us. This is energy and energy has to move. It goes somewhere. Your energy can be wasted on worrying about everything bad that could happen and the possible negative opinions of others, in effect paralyzing you. Or you can put your energy to good use as a motivator and move closer to your goal. What if you used up all your energy for the wild and crazy things you dream of doing so that you don’t have the energy to expend on the wild and crazy thoughts that keep you up at night? What if that energy removes the mountain in your mind that keeps you from achieving your goal? And WHAT IF you just do it – succeed in spite of the fear, and run over the mountain top, joyous and delighted to move on to the next phase of your dream. What if?
