This summer I had an amazing opportunity open up for me. I had put a major goal in my Life Vision statement, and I knew that the right teacher would show up at the right time to help me with this goal. The right teacher showed up at the right time, but when it came time to make the decision to work with her, I was scared!!! My fears were blocking me big time! I wasn't afraid of the monetary investment or the time I would need to put into this goal... I was afraid of the inevitable success that will follow! This new teacher told me my life would be completely different 12 months from now, and I knew she was absolutely correct!
But part of me was very excited about this opportunity. After all, I had set the goal and expected this very thing to happen. It will take me so much closer to living my life 100% on purpose -- in short, it's everything I want!
So why the fear? Because our minds like to play tricks on us! Our minds like to keep us away from change and to keep us "safe."
So I immediately went to work clearing out the fear and really, really building up the excitement in my mind! The more excited I got, the less fearful I became. Every time I felt the fears creeping back in, I would focus on all the great things that would come out of this opportunity, and I got really excited again! And the fears disappeared again!
Is there a fear keeping you back from something you know will be really, really good for you? As you get closer to the goal, do you feel the fear become almost paralyzing? Then get really clear about your motive -- why did you want this goal in the first place? Get excited about your goal and watch the fears disappear!

i probably would not have guessed this was neat some years in the past but yet it's crazy how years changes the manner in which you experience a variety of creative concepts, thank you regarding the posting it is actually pleasant to read anything smart once in a while instead of the regular trash mascarading as a blog on the net
I'm not able to view this website properly on saffari I think there's a problem
Just wanted to give you a shout from the valley of the sun, great information. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this Alisa, I had this exact thing happen last week. My company had a goal to make booking phone calls. I had big dreams and goals for my self and as I started getting "yes" I would love to do that, I felt the terror barrier rear it's ugly head. Like you I had to clear my fear of success-- and focus on what I am doing it for. I have images of my goals hanging right by the phone so I can change that fear for excitement
