What scares you? What gives you anxiety? What are your biggest fears?
The best way to get over your fears is to understand them. When you are able to articulate exactly what gives you the most anxiety this is the first step to getting over it. Getting over your fears does not mean they go away. Getting over your fears means you are gaining courage. The fear does not diminish. Fears never go away but you can get over them and face them.
There are only so many opportunities you will get in your life so when they come make sure you are ready for them. These opportunities disguise themselves as problems or challenges. They are usually something you have never done before so you must be willing to take the leap into the unknown. Taking an opportunity will make you grow immediately. You will be brighter, wiser, and people will notice something is different about you. You are not a person who waits you are someone who goes out and gets what they want. Unless you take the first opportunity you will not get the next one. You will never write a second best selling book unless you write your first book. Welcome and take the leap at opportunity or else it will always be lingering over you. The best solution is to get it done. No matter what the outcome is. Celebrate the courage to take a chance and learn from it.

What are the basics of your life? When you make a decision what theme does it feed. If you do not stand for something you will fall for anything. There are so many distractions internally and externally. If we build a solid foundation internally then we know how to handle situations better and make decisions better. What are the poles of your internal compass? The external world is always changing but if we are guided by a constant internal we will get to where we want to go.
Stop waiting until you are ready. As soon as you are ready its already too late.
No one learns by being successful at everything they do. The biggest lessons are learned from the biggest failures. It takes no courage to keep swinging if you win. The real courage comes from keeping on going after you have taken a lose. The greatest teams in sports do not lose twice in a row. They rebound from the loss get better.
The real success is who you become and how you look at yourself.
Growth happens when you are over your head. The moment when you have no other choice but to step up. The pressure is on. The lights are shining in your face. There is no safety net.
More than likely you are going to fail and that is why this zone is beyond our comfort zone. We are taking a huge risk because we are doing something that we have never done before. It may feel like fear that is bubbling up within us but it is excitement, adrenaline and courage.
You are becoming a master of your craft. This is all part of the process. The progression to becoming a master is full of challenges and eventually you are the one who is responsible. These moments of expansion come to test you to see where you are at. If you fail then your moment will come again and you will have to be ready for it. And the moment will keep coming until you take advantage of it.
These are opportunities to shine. These are opportunities to show how far you have come. If you keep taking advantage of these moments then they will get easier and eventually you will be able to move mountains.
