Fear is debilitating. It holds us captive afraid to attempt anything because we don’t want to fail. Yet we have to find a way to overcome it. We develop wonderful ideas and dreams that deserve to be pursued. Who knows which one of them is that million dollar idea? This year I challenge you and myself to take control our lives and not let fear hold us back. Here’s why:
-
Why You Are Letting Go of Fear #1: You’re tired
You are tired of missed opportunities. You are tired of trying to reach expectations of those who don’t even matter. You are tired of living in a box and not creating the life you deserve to give to yourself. You are tired of waiting for the 2nd time that may never come. You are tired of the what-ifs. You are plain ole’ tired.

Why You Are Letting Go of Fear #2: Fear is not your friend.
Fear will not do anything for you, so don’t continue to hold onto it. Fear will not help you get that job you want. Fear will not help you approach that guy you like. Nor will fear help you start the business you dream about. You are in control of who you accept into your life and I can bet you fear is not the type of company you want so don’t let it get comfortable.

Why You Are Letting Go of Fear #3: You are destined for greatness
No matter what you decide to do with your life you have the potential to be so great at it. It is difficult to overcome fear but once you do… you will be in for a ride. You don’t need anyone to validate your decisions. Once you realize that you won’t die or melt into the ground because you went after what you desired, you will be ready to keep pushing despite those nagging voices in the back of your head. You might encounter some bumps and hiccups but you will also achieve some really good highs and accomplishments. The successes will outweigh the fails.

Why You Are Letting Go of Fear #4: The world limitless
Let go of the fear of money. Let go of the fear of others. Let go of the fear of inadequacy. Let go of the fear of speaking up, failure, and lack of. None of that is important. The world is huge and there are boundless opportunities. There are too many people to meet, too much money to be made, and too much of just about everything. Do not let the fear of where you are now dictate where you can be in the future. If many of your role models stopped when they began to feel inkling of doubt or fear they would not be where they are today. So do not let any “perceived” limits hold you back. If there is not already a path for you create one.
We have work to do. In 2018, we will leave fear and doubt where it belongs. Which is behind us. There is so much for us to accomplish on the other side of the rainbow. With every experience we have it will teach us something new and make us stronger. Now let’s get ready for the adventure in 2018 .
What do you plan to leave behind in 2017 besides fear?
