Everything is ready roll, but you. There’s a sense of hesitancy and uneasiness about what you’re about to do, or thinking of doing.  Losing sleep at night and tossing stuff around in your mind over and over again during your waking hours is an indication that what you’re about to embark on or even the decision to embark is a)something you really don’t want to do but feel you should due to some outside pressure; b)something you need to do and is the right thing to do but you’re hesitant to do so because of what’s going on in your own head or c)something you need to do but you hesitate because of what others may think (again back to what’s happening in your own head). Guess what, this reticence has nothing to do with what’s at hand, but everything to do with fear.

I know you’ve heard it said that fear can sometimes be a good motivator. I would agree, when fear of reprisal or reprimand by the law is involved. There are other examples I’m sure but that’s what immediately comes to mind. In that case you’re darn skippy, not doing something out of fear of retribution will keep you out of the pokey. Yet when it’s time to make decisions about our lives and our livelihoods, the fear bomb can be crippling. When we allow it to be the decider, instead of our good sense, our intellect and our heart, then we miss out.  Living your life well is not conducive to living it and letting it be ruled by fear.

Do you have a decision to make? Have you made the decision but haven’t made the move? If so, look that fear right in the face and tell it this decision/action belongs to me, I’m making it without you, thank you.
