Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable – Thomas N. Vail
Are you being conquered by worries that haven’t been realized yet?
Can you recall worries from the past? Did anything of them ever happen?
What if you divided your worry time in half and spent one half worrying (because habits aren’t changed overnight) and one half working on one small step?
What are you seeing lately? Growth, opportunity, success? Challenges, difficulties, obstacles?
What if you looked for something else?
In what areas of your life would you like to change your perspective?
Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world – Jane Addams
Some people are held back by fear – fear of failure, fear of success. Addams points out fear can propel us forward: we might instead fear not doing enough, not making a valuable contribution.
This Addams quote also calls on each of us to save the world. Our contribution might be the tipping point. We MUST continue sharing our gifts.
Where are you holding back?
For what dream can you expend an additional push, more inspired effort?
How would you act if you knew your efforts might save the world?
