Afraid To Take Action - Get Unstuck

Creator: @7motivation

Get unstuck by taking a reasonable risk to make progress:

Stop being afraid of:

- making mistakes

- not having guaranteed success

- wasting time because not sure

 

Realize instead that, with each reasonable risk, you gain:

- Experience

- Knowledge

- New ideas

- Self-understanding of your capabilities

- Inspiration

- Resilience

- Courage

- Feelings of momentum 

- Quicker results than not making trials
 

You will feel like you're making progress making trials:

- That will feel good

- That will give you motivation

 

So realize that trial and error leads to quicker progress. 

Also realize just worring or procrastinating gets you nowhere.

 

So it's important to value taking reasonable risks for progress:

- It's expected that all trials won't succeed

- But it is also expected that all trials will lead to learning something

- And learning is progress and leads to better solution ideas

 

So even when a trial fails, you actually will be ahead:

- You'll be CLOSER to succeeding 

- You know more after the trial 

- You have new ideas because of the trial

 

How does this apply to your situation?

- What have you been afraid to take action on?

- What trial attempt can you make instead of just worrying?

 

You can type your ideas in the box below for fun.
