They say that life is about taking chances... the truth is that we only fully live if we learn to take chances. Fear can paralyze us and stop us from accomplishing our dreams and goals. But how do we become fearless? How do we learn to take chances?
Emerson wrote: "Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain." Sometimes we just have to face fear face to face and just take a chance. We have to learn to believe in ourselves and become confident individuals. But how do we acquire "confidence"? That, of course, may take a while. We become confident through our accomplishments and achievements; when we learn to appreciate our gifts and talents; when we know that no matter what we deserve the best. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we stop to look fear in the face... We must do that which we think we cannot do. We believe that there's a power greater than ourselves and that we have inner resources to help us get in touch with that amazing power. When we embrace that power we feel that we can do anything!
Of course we have to be realistic at times; but we have to have the confidence to keep trying, to never give up and to always go after our dreams. We have to learn to "listen to our heart" - to follow our gut feeling... our intuition. If we believe, we can accomplish great things! Stay positive, know that things will always work out for the best and that every experience is a learning experience, and keep moving confidently in the direction of your deepest desires. If your intentions, your thoughts and your actions are good - you will be rewarded.
So take a chance or two and go after a new relationship, a new job, a new experience. Don't complain and focus on your dreams and plans, helping people along the way, embracing happiness, being grateful and doing your very best... You'll be surprised at the results! But, first of all, ACT!
