Have you ever talked yourself out of doing something that you felt passionate about?
Have you ever bought into others’ advice, even though it was contrary to your own beliefs?
If you answered yes to either question then you are like most of us humans, and you second-guess yourself by buying into your fears.
Now ask yourself – Did anything good ever come out of NOT doing something? Other than stopping yourself from following foolish pursuits that may have put you in harms way, stopping yourself probably never led to a positive outcome. In my experience whenever I stopped myself from following my own instincts, it not only didn’t move me forward – it set me back.
So, why do we let resistance keep us from what we are meant to do? It’s fear of the unknown. And why do we let others’ resistance and fears stop us from taking a leap of faith? Can other people predict the outcome anymore than we can? Just because something didn’t work for someone else doesn’t mean it won’t work for you or me. There just are too many variables that play a part in whether someone succeeds or fails.
I’ll make one prediction – If you stop yourself from pursuing your big idea or even your small idea – it won’t happen.
So why are you letting resistance rule your life? That’s just plain stupid.
Watch this and then ask yourself – what are you waiting for?
