As spring will be coming to a close in just a little over a month, and summer is commencing to start, I want to consider the topic of our dreams. It’s easy to put them on the back burner during the summertime, but it’s also the perfect time to think about our dreams and goals.

What I really want to address is the thing that most often prevents us from going after our dreams! Of course, the stars play their part but, after years of working with clients, I’ve come to realize that our biggest hurdle to realizing our dreams is much closer to home. It’s our own fears! Our fears can create obstacles that can become seemingly unsurmountable. So, to realize our dreams,we have to confront our fears.

The best way to do this is to try to understand and evaluate each of our fears. Most fears are irrational. For instance, some of us are afraid to contact people we don’t know, even if that person can help us realize a dream. Other people may be afraid to start a project or a new job because they have never done anything like it before. This group is afraid of failing. But what they don’t realize is that, by not starting or going through with something, they have already failed. So, in fact, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

This is why I want you to think about the fears that are keeping you from living your dreams. Write them down on a piece of paper, and then next to each fear, write down how you will overcome that fear. For example, if you are afraid to call someone, write down exactly when you will call this person and what you will say. If you are afraid of starting a project, write down what the project is, when you will start it, and all the individual steps that you think it will take to finish this project. The idea is to get you to see ways to overcome the forces that are holding you back.

Too many of us are not living our dreams, because we are allowing our fears to control us. I don’t want you to be one of these people! If you look your fears in the eye, and try to understand what they are, you might begin to understand why you feel so powerless against them.

Identifying our fears is the first step to eliminating them and unlocking our full potential. Do this, and you’ll be taking control over your destiny. I hope you’ll consider my words this week. In the four months left in the year, let’s try to make progress with your fears. Life is too precious not to!

    DEFINITION: Fear is an intensely unpleasant emotion in response to perceiving or recognizing a danger or threat. In humans and other animals, fear is modulated by the process of cognition and learning. Thus, fear is judged as rational and appropriate, or irrational and inappropriate. An irrational fear is called a phobia.
    We ALL have it, just NEEDS to ACCEPT reality, then ONLY we can work out how to come out of it. Solution is within, we need just FAITH on almighty and do our best.
