If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.

I love this quote! I've found that most people have an idea of what they want and often when it's actually time to receive their desire, they push it away.
Example: I have a friend that would always say that he wanted to live in Colorado. This was his ideal life, to live in the mountains with the elk and eagle surrounding him. Yet when given the chance to move to the mountains, he said, "No, I'll just stay here. I'm comfortable here." Now, I'd heard about Colorado for 20 years or so. 20 years of wanting to live in Colorado but when he actually receives his desire, he's not ready to take the leap. He was all talk, not someone that was really ready to go for it.
Some people are dreamers, but not doers. For a change in your life, it will require you to take ACTION.
Now, here's a funny sidenote in this story. Bill and I went for a visit to Colorado after talking with this friend and following his suggestion of seeing the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. On our visit, after witnessing the raw beauty of Colorado, we decided to move! We took the leap. Why? Because we had a "go for it" attitude. We weren't afraid to go for our goal.
I talk with people all the time that say they want to work from home, that being at home with their kids is the #1 priority in their life, but when I show them a lucrative way to work from home, they allow doubt or skepticim to stop them from getting what they want. They'll share their idea of coming home to their kids with their family or friends and someone will them them that it just can't be done. That there's stability in working a job. (Of course, they don't mention downsizing, lay off, pay cuts during this conversation.)
How many people are living in fear, doubt and worry and won't move forward in their life?
Too many.
How do you move beyond the fear, doubt and worry?
Have a goal that is more PASSIONATE then all the fears, all the doubts and all the worry.
What's your goal?
If you can't tell me straight out, then get clear about what you want. You should be able to name it. If you don't know what you want, how can you expect to receive it?
