Allow Yourself to Feel Afraid but Keep Going Anyway

One of the best quotes I have ever heard came from an unknown person: "learn from others, don't try to be wise by yourself." I like this saying because it is so simple. Sure you should think before you try to do something, but you shouldn't do it all by yourself. In other words, don't try to be wise by yourself but keep on trying anyway. If you follow this quote and apply it to your life, then you will never be successful.

So often we are afraid of people or circumstances in life when we should be trying to become successful. The old saying, "Don't sweat the little things," comes to mind. This saying holds true when you are afraid of starting a new project, talking to someone new, asking a new question, or even walking out of your house. All these things can set you back. But if you do not apply any of these things to your daily life, then you will not become successful.

In order to become successful, you have to take small steps. Each small step will make you a little bit closer to success. When you are afraid of starting something new, don't be afraid of walking out of your house. When you are afraid of asking a new question, then tell yourself, "You'll be better off asking someone else." Don't make these things a habit.

You have to be willing to walk out of your comfort zone if it will help you in your quest for success. Fear comes with excitement. Even when you are scared, excitement can lead to success. Just let go of that fear.

You also have to be willing to invest time and effort into things that make you uncomfortable. If you don't like doing something, then don't do it. It's not going to help you reach your goal. But it will make you feel better about yourself and will boost your confidence so that when you do decide to take action, you will feel much more confident.

Once you start seeing results from the efforts that you make, start to get more comfortable. When you feel good about yourself, you will be more willing to do things. If you do start doing it, make it count. Don't just go through the motions. Make each step count. If you are walking up the stairs, make each step count.

Lastly, when you are afraid, you also feel bad about yourself. But, that is the last thing you should do. Instead, feel excited about your future. That way, you will have more motivation to make the necessary changes to achieve success.

When you allow yourself to feel afraid but keep going anyway, you are actually setting yourself up for failure. But if you don't allow yourself to feel anything, then you might as well feel nothing. As I mentioned before, if you are afraid, then nothing will motivate you to do anything. So, start to feel good about yourself today by taking the actions that are required to achieve your goals and dreams!

Once you start to feel better about yourself, you will notice a positive change in other aspects of your life. You will become more optimistic. The fear that you once had will start to fade away. And that is the first step to success! Believe in yourself and give yourself a push.

Now, here is the really important part. Why is it so important that you get off of your butt and do something about this? Well, the reason why it is so important is because there is something inside you that has been holding you back from success. It is your beliefs about yourself. And when you change your beliefs about yourself, success follows.

For example, if you believe that you don't have what it takes to become successful, then you won't. And if you think that you will fail if you try, then you will. You must allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you want to feel inside. But, you must not allow yourself to feel anything else about it.

When you allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you want to feel inside, you will find that you will be able to attract exactly that thing to you. And when you want to attract it, then success follows. And when you want to achieve success, then you know that you can do it!
