When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the
service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am
afraid.” ~ Audre Lorde
Is fear and apprehension preventing you from becoming the
success you always dreamed of becoming? Lets understand where your anxiety is
coming from – and find out how you can overcome it.
What’s holding you back from achieving success? Is it a lack
of talent/skill to do something worthwhile?
I doubt it!
Chances are you’ve got a compelling passion for a particular
type of skill, whether it’s assisting others, developing a product, or
supplying a service.
As a counselor, I’ve found that the number one reason most
people never take the plunge and start working on their passion is anxiety.
Where oh where does the Fear come from?
I completely understand apprehension because I’ve
experienced it myself. Many times in the very far past while was helping others
to defeat personal struggles … I found that instead of feeling a sense of
achievement, I was drained. I was seeing people go on to better futures and
more fulfilling lives through finding their true sense of Self – yet here I was
grounded, and almost resentful, after my work was done. Instead of anticipating
the next successful patient, I almost shunned taking many on. I was in a
dilemma and I did NOT like it one bit!
My dilemma?
When I started feeling this way a few years back, I knew
there had to be a change – in my life, in the way I thought and in the way I
approached my work. But at the same time, I was fearful that if I changed, the
whole thing would go south and I would fail miserably.
