Some do mental goal setting and some of us take the time to write them out and even set deadlines for their accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>The problem comes when it is time to take actions, to get them underway. Often time we get stopped by the two most common types of fear: The fear of success and the fear of failure. We fear success because of the expectations others may have on us. We fear failure because of the criticism that may come our way.<\/p>\n<p>We start playing back mental recordings of our past failures. We start mental conversations about how difficult it may be. We say to ourselves \u201cIf it could work why someone hasn\u2019t already done it?\u201d We start reciting what we lack: \u201cI don&#8217;t have&#8230;\u201d, \u201cI&#8217;m too old\u201d, \u201cI&#8217;m too young\u201d,&#8221;I&#8217;m too fat&#8221;,&#8221;I&#8217;m too skinny&#8221; and on and on. We simply start making excuses for not taking that first step.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of looking at what we don\u2019t have, we should create for ourselves an emotional carrot and stick. Mentally create something that is strong enough to pull us forward and painful enough to push us away from sitting still. If you need examples post a comment on this blog and I\u2019ll give some ways to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting still has caused countless dreams and desires to go unfulfilled.\u00a0 The graveyard is full of inventions, cures, products, services, unspoken words, and undone acts that could have completely revolutionized the world.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let your dreams, goals and desires leave the earth when you leave.\u00a0 You have great value and a great purpose.<\/p>\n<p>If this blog has helped you in anyway please leave me a comment.
