Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like you are going through the motions, but nothing is moving? Have you looked at yourself? We are usually all too ready to offer our help and advice to other people, but have you looked at your own life in the same way? If someone you knew were going through the exact same thing you are right now, what advice would you give them?

There is pretty much only one reason we don’t take our own advice, and that reason is FEAR. We’re afraid we’ll look stupid, we’re afraid we don’t have the resources, we’re afraid it’s the wrong timing, and of course we are afraid of failing. And the biggest fear that many have; we are afraid of success. What happens if you succeed, then you have to keep that momentum going, and that becomes the fear of the unknown – FEAR.

I’ve written about fear before. I’ve written about how debilitating fear can and does pretty much stop us in our tracks. I’ve written about how constrictive it is. Now you get a chance to see just how constrictive it is! It is so constrictive it stops you from even thinking straight. I know what fear is like; everyone does. I know the fear of being shot at. It’s interesting for a spit second that fear locks your feet to the ground. Then after a second it motivates you to run your butt off!

So if you are feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground you have to identify “who’s shooting at you” (figuratively speaking) and then use that very same fear to motivate you to MOVE! And always remember, as painful as it can be… you sometimes have to run into the direction from which the shots are coming.
