Fear…
Of not doing it right…
Of Breaking something….
Of failing…
All things that I encountered at the gym, entering a competition, up on stage, travelling to do it internationally – at every stage, fear was there. In some ways, that was what made me do it.
There were concerns, of course – there’s the idea of something going wrong but the overriding purpose and emotion was one of achieving a goal, the satisfaction of which drives away all of those anxieties very quickly.
It is from this momentum within those environments that push you outside of comfort zones and in many other areas too.
In my experience, you can conquer something like anxiety and fear through positioning yourself in the gym for the first time, by trying but not necessarily doing the right thing the first time or getting on that plane solo, for the first time…by pushing through that emotional difficulty. it fills you with ambition – not only yourself but for others too!
Seeing how far you’ve come from those 1st movements forward can lead to incredible things.
This has been a very reflective time, yes, but opportunities of moments that have passed, have helped to keep the light shining to explore where I want to go next, and who I can help too.
Embrace fear, bring it with you, it could help to drive your purpose too…
Here we go…
