the #1 reason people don't pursue their goals is simply because of one word. FEAR.
whether its fear of failure, or fear of judgment from others.
If you're scared to fail, not getting started will guarantee you failure.
If you're scared to get started due to judgment from others, imagine how they will judge you when 10 years go by and you haven't done anything you said you were going to do.
Because of how we're programmed, we're made to seek comfort and avoid risks, but this often leads to stagnation. We have to consciously push against this natural inclination to stay within our comfort zones. By challenging ourselves to take risks and embrace discomfort, we open the door to growth and success.
The thing is, it's often only the first fear we need to push past in order to actually see what we're capable of.. After that, you may have slight fear to start new things -- yet it will never be as bad as that first time.
So whatever it is you're scared of... push past it and see how much your horizons open up with opportunities.
