I’ve been there! I think it’s a fair assessment to say that
most of us have, at one point or another. It’s that place where your desires
are so great and you are motivated to do what you love, but you’re afraid to
screw it up! You don’t know where to start, so you don’t start at all.
Sometimes, all you really need is to get out of your own way!
Whether you want to start your own company, lose weight, try
a new hobby, travel the world, whatever it may be! No one is stopping you from
getting a business license, doing the work you love, going to the gym, eating
fewer calories than you burn, taking a hula class, buying a flight to Paris, or
in my case, making music and sharing it with the world. So, why isn’t the world
filled with tons of people just doing what they want?!
There are internal roadblocks that stop us. Pretty much
every roadblock boils down to Fear. Fear that we can’t afford it, Fear that we
won’t succeed. Fear that people won’t like us or the service or product we
offer. Fear we won’t find the love of our lives and get married and have
babies. Fear that we can’t make our dreams come true. Did you notice that all
these things are fears of what we can’t or won’t do?
We’re not afraid that we will make a living doing what we
love, that we’ll get married and live happily ever after, that people will love
us, or all our dreams will come true. Why would that scare us?! That sounds
amazing! So why are we stopped?
Taking action will only get you closer to AMAZING! You make
a choice every time you choose to act or not. Every time, I write a song, book
a show, or market my music, I am taking action. I’m making the decision to do
something. It may not always be the best way, but it’s a way. It’s action. It’s
something. I’m moving forward, even if I’m zig-zagging.
All these thoughts hit me
yesterday and filled my journal pages as I talked myself though this all. Now, I've boiled it down to one sentence…
