There are often times when I'm afraid of the next step. I know that you've felt the same way many many times and you probably feel that way right now.
There is something in your life that you know that you should be doing to make progress toward your goals and your dreams, but you're allowing other peoples' opinions to hold you back.
Not only are their opinions' holding you back, but you're holding yourself back because you're afraid to fail.
“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” Sven Goran Eriksson
You're afraid to be wrong... You're afraid to find out that you tried something and it didn't work...
You're afraid.
And being afraid is not the end... You need to learn how to take that fear of failing and put it to work - you put it to work by just jumping in anyways... knowing that there is a chance that you fail.
And knowing that when you inevitably take a loss, you will turn it into a victory by learning from it!
