What Scares You?

Damn. It's almost Halloween. Which begs the question: what scares you?

What ever you are worried about, whatever you are doubting (especially in yourself), it pays to look underneath the fear.

Because what is fear really?

It's often a mask for what you really want.

It's doubt. Discomfort. That feeling that you can't.

Whatever it is, it's holding you back and trying to just keep you in your current place of comfort. Fear and doubt seek to prevent forward progress.

The real question isn't whether you have fear or doubt. Of course you do. Because on the other side of your fear is what your really want and to get there means navigating new territory.

The antidote to fear is to just get going. As in now. The more steps you take, the more the fear goes away.

So embrace the fear and let's go. That's a far less scary prospect than just staying in place and missing opportunities.

Happy Halloween.
