You don’t even know when you’re doing it. You think you’re open to dealing with an issue, solving a problem or Finding Your Nxt. And yet, you can come up with all kinds of reasons why you can’t move forward.

Since when did change become something to avoid? Changing your job. Changing your relationship. Changing where you live? Even changing your hairstyle is often met with a collective NOOOOOOOO! Don’t change! Stay just the way you are!

How many times have you stopped yourself from moving beyond what is no longer working for you because you had no idea what the future would look like…and that fear of the unknown was worse than staying where you were?

The fear of failure is based on the premise that if you promise to do something, and for whatever reason, that promise doesn’t come to fruition, you have failed. It doesn’t matter if it was your fault or the fault of others. The failure is yours if you made the promise and couldn’t follow through on it.
