Getting what you want without fear or guilt


How to Get What You Want, Without Fear or Guilt

 

Fear is a real factor in getting what you want.  The fear of leaving a dead-end job for whatever reason, can petrify you for weeks or months..  Could be that you don't have an alternative to your present, so you stick with it, staying where you are.  "Better the devil you know, than the one you don't." the saying goes.  Besides, its scary to be out on a limb with no one there,with you,  who has your best interests in mind

 

What is it that keeps you awake at night, afraid to go for what you want?  Is it your fear of success, your fear of failure, or a fear of being alone or abandoned?  Maybe you have no one to encourage you.  (Get a coach!)  Honestly a good coach can become your best support and get you centered and moving in a way that is really you.

 

Let's look at the fear of failure.  When we ask people why they don't go for it, the most frequent answer is fear, fear of loosing a sure thing that doesn't meet your needs, to grasping that which will.  We have the idea that everything we do must be perfect and perfectly done in order to call it a success.  It is what I call the merry-go-round argument.  As long as you go along and get along, why try to get the brass ring?

We say, "I am in a merry-go-round situation and I can't get off until I learn how to ride it properly." It becomes the death by a thousand cuts, and so we don't go for it. I've been there and done that.  Maybe you are there and need to get off. 

 

"Fear knocked at the door, and faith answered, and no one was there."
 
Hope this helps,
