No matter what we are trying to achieve Or what we want in our life, first step towards it is always gonna be the hardest. So hard that some of us don't even make that first step. Why?
The reasons are numerous, some can be being lazy, some can be not interested enough but the commonest is "The Fear of Failure". Isn't it? It is one of mine at least. I have this issue big time but I am working towards it. I won't say i have improved a lot but for sure it is better than before, when I used to just assume things and wouldn't even bothered to do them in real.
Here is how I have started to overcome this. Whenever I fall into any such situations, when I feel like doing it but start to feel tired or just afraid to do it, I just do it anyway, I put these different thoughts in my mind. Thoughts like "just do it, what are you gonna lose anyway" or "if not now then never, it is better to do it now and know what you are capable of than to regret later".
And over the course of time I have realized that it is so much better to just do the things we wait for so long and not overthink about them, because if we overthink about those things, we end up not doing them. It is so much better to do the things than to regret about the outcomes that could have been if you would have just taken that simple fist step. No matter what the outcome is, no matter if you fail, believe me that first step will set you free. Plus there is a possibility that if you don't complicate that first step, your success rate will be much higher. That's all what I can say with what I have experienced.
