If this isn't the truth! At least it has been in my life. I'm an "idea gal". I have had hundreds of ideas for businesses, products, websites - you name it! But I've never been what I would call terribly successful at most of them - I mean the ones I actually tried! Most never even left the drawing board. Why? What's the issue. I'm a smart, capable and, at times, energetic woman. But I also suffer the nearly universal issue of letting myself - my fears, my weaknesses, my inhibitions - get in the way of my goals and dreams. How to overcome this??? It is a big hurdle, for sure!
Another quote I read today may shed some light:
"If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse."
I have certainly been full of excuses over the years! I would swear that these things I've not succeeded in were important to me, but apparently not important enough...
I think my overly large "comfort zone" may be another issue. I don't mind a challenge, but I really don't care for being pushed out of comfort - be that emotional or physical! I suspect that a big part of getting over myself is getting out of my comfort zone more often. Comfortable is typing about all this stuff... UNcomfortable is getting up and getting out there and doing or saying things that are just outside of the the zone.
I love dreaming about what I could achieve if I could get this one piece of the puzzle in place. But dreaming is only one little starting point for achieving. Time to take some action! I'm not really sure what that first venture "outside" will look like, but it's time to embrace it and get over myself!
