Oftentimes what stops us is not what is in front of us, but fears in our minds about the situation. You have something in your mind which you think may happen if you take that step. Sad to say this fear is mostly imagined.
When you go ahead and take action you'll realise that what you were afraid of was infact not real. Imagine living life controlled by an obstacle that only existed in your imagination! But then how would you know if you don't confront that fear and take action?
Don't permit an unreal enemy steal your future! Confront your fears. Learn, ask questions especially from others who have done what you hope to do. If they did, there's a very good chance you can too!
Underneath your fears lie great opportunities. Because when you start doing the things that scare you the most, tearing down the invisible barriers that separate you from the good life, you become the person you’ve always dreamed about in your mind: your ideal self. That means finding your courage is a life-changing decision. Fear will always be around to tell you what you can’t do—it’s up to you to face your fears, and tell yourself that you can.
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.
