I’m Not Ready Yet

Is that your excuse for not doing what you want to do? Let me tell you something, you are never ready for what you really, truly want to do. There will always be less money than you feel comfortable with, less time than what you need to prepare, and less support than what you would ideally like in your life. That should not stop you from reaching out with both hands for what you know you really want. Be it a career move, or a relationship crisis, no problem is solved if you take the stance – I’m not ready to confront this situation yet.

Finding Your Courage

Confidence is not something I lack in when it comes to doing things that I have rehearsed and perfected. However if I have to do something impromptu, I will most likely freeze and fall on my face, literally! The trick is to find your courage by picking up a routine that helps you to feel better prepared for the big change that you are trying to bring about. Pick your goal, then pick it apart. List the steps that you will need to complete to reach the ultimate plan. Are you trying to write a novel? Begin writing at least 500 words a day, it will surprise you how quickly you gain confidence in your ability to write.

Stepping Up to Do the Deed

There is a tendency to start out well and then just as things start rolling onto a bigger, better path to shut down. The fears that hold you in place are also natural. You know you are fated for something better but that will only come with the price of a distinct change. This means that you are not sure if you want to pay the price and shake up your old life to create the new one which you claim to say you want. A blueprint may be perfect but till the bricks and mortar take shape you really don’t get a feel of the actual building. Till you begin building, you will have no idea what you can achieve.

Finding Your Peace

It’s when you know that you are not yet ready completely, but that this opportunity will never come back that you finally take that leap. That leap of faith that puts your trust in your own talent, passion and skill. That allows you to think that no matter what gets thrown out at you, you will be able to handle it. When you finally manage to conquer that fear with your skill, that is when you will be rewarded with success and peace of mind. No one says it is an easy journey, and the toughest opponent you will face will be your own self doubt. Just keep on going and eventually you will find your peace.

Use these affirmations to keep your head in the game. Affirmations help keep you on track even as you invoke the Law of Attraction. “I am ready for my success now. I achieve the goals I set easily and effortlessly.”

Reasons Why You Fear Your Success

Reaching bold new heights of success is a dream that you have been wishing to come true, and yet each time you are given an opportunity to take that very same dream and make it a reality you deliberately take a step back. You let the opportunity pass you by and then wonder what would have happened if you had not let your fears and insecurities lead you astray. Here we focus on those seemingly small reasons why you fear fulfilling your own potential.

Self Doubt

Yes, that little inner voice that sits in judgment over all our actions is self doubt. Each time you decide that you can do something, there is a quick snarky blurt within the confines of your own mind telling you that maybe you are not quite as good as you think you are. Test it, tell yourself you can achieve your goal within a month and then listen to what come flooding through your mind. We are our own worst critics. We refuse to give ourselves permission to soar. Pursuing life goals and reaching our potential becomes extremely difficult when we ourselves don’t support our own actions.

Other People’s Opinion

If we fail in the endeavor we have put our heart and soul into, we are faced with our own insecurities. They may be nasty but we are familiar with them and can handle them. What happens if we do manage to succeed? We trigger other people’s insecurities and they will surely let us know in no uncertain terms that we have done them a great disservice. Are we willing to put ourselves out there to listen to their insecurities as a byproduct of our success? Or is it just better to let success elude us?

Reluctance to Change

If we succeed, the settled life we lead today will be completely changed. We will be facing a number of relationship changes which may seem like quite a personal upheaval in an otherwise comfortable life. Do we really need all that fame, money and success when it will spell the end of life how we know it today? This is one of the reasons why we may not be all that keen to find success even when we are working towards it and praying for it to happen.

Giving Yourself Permission to Succeed

When it comes to soaring in the clouds of success we are always looking at a safe place to land even before we actually take to the air. We anchor ourselves so well to the ground with our unfounded fears that we refuse to give ourselves permission to succeed. Now take a conscious decision to allow yourself to live your life purpose, and to succeed in the undertaking you are currently working on. Remember the choice is always in your hands. 

Here is an affirmation to help you use the Law of Attraction to draw your success to yourself – “Doors of opportunity now fly open for my dream. I am consistently presented with the opportunities and resources that I need to succeed in my life purpose.”
