So many folks unknowingly live in constant fear: the fear of what if, the fear of failure, the fear of the unknown. One of my business coaches use to always tell me: ”Fear is ‘false evidence appearing real’ and the only two real fears are the fear of loud noises and falling.”
With all the coaching I’ve done, both with clients and informally with colleagues – there is one fear worst than all the rest. This is the fear to be great because they did not want to “outshine” a partner, friend or family member. They did not want to make that person feel bad with their accomplishments. This is the worst fear that exists because the individual knowingly holds himself or herself back because of another person’s insecurities. It is one thing to be holding yourself back for your own reasons – but it’s a shame and a tragic lost to hold yourself back because of someone else. Your loved ones will support you in your dreams; they will rally for you and stand by you. The ones who don’t are still seeking their own fulfillment. Don’t hold back on your dreams and accomplishments, there are more people who want you to succeed than the ones who don’t. You owe it to yourself to shine as bright as you can, and once you realize this truth – your light will burn brightest. Get Ready, Get Inspired! – GD
