Over a week ago, I completed a challenge I started for myself with the mind to take action even when I'm not ready. It took less than a minute to decide that I'll start the challenge, no plans or guides, just the decision to take action in the direction I'm interested in... The skill I'm learning and public speaking I admire.
The challenge ended and it feels like I'm back to my "comfort zone" and scared to try something new again. But the challenge taught me a lot of things I didn't think I'd know from taking that action. I also got good ideas that I can use to keep the momentum going but I'm getting stuck in just having the ideas.
Another comfort action I'm taking that I think I'm becoming stuck with is "Learning". Nowadays, I don't go a day without learning something new, I read more and I watch a lot of self-growth and self-help videos which has given me a lot of ideas. The good thing is, I have no excuse of what to do for when I really decide to start.
My challenge now is, finding the exact actions to take for me to actualize the ideas I have playing in my mind. I want to do something different with the things I do, especially online to develop other earning sources and develop myself over all.
Two days ago, I was able to build up a plan to take action but I still procrastinate about the result I'll get from doing the things I have planned. I think I have more fear than I should and I plan to do it scared. So this is like a post to break me out of my "Learning with no application" phase.
I'm scared, I may not do it well at first, I may get criticized, I may not stay consistent to get something great out of the ideas but one thing is for sure. If I start, I'll have something going on for me that may change my life or my finances and may subdue my fears... It's a risk worth taking, a win-win for me.
