Day 13 of 30 Days of Bravery
👁 INTENTION
Today, let's recognize what is limiting courageous action and discover one simple action we can commit to every day.
In the realm of ambition, it's easy to dream big but often hard to start small. The giant leap toward our goals begins with a single, manageable step. This journey is about identifying that step and making a pact with ourselves to take it daily. Imagine turning your dreams into bite-sized pieces, digestible each day, moving you closer to where you wish to be. Let's commit to this micro-action, overcoming the inertia that resistance brings, propelling us into a future where our ambitions are not just dreams but realities we live every day.

Let's share and inspire each other with our commitments by leaving your response in the comments.
Fear of failure and perfectionism
Fear of judgments, embarrassment & rejection.
Procrastination and perfectionism. The two go hand and hand. Fear runs my entire life.
Fear of just about everything.
Overwhelm and fear and failure
What might be my biggest barrier to accomplishing my goals is that I don’t take enough risks. Whenever I make a decision, I try to find the safest option possible. But as Frank Herbert once wrote, “a clear, safe course . . . leads ever down into stagnation.” Always taking the safe path may allow me to get by, but it will never really help me to make advancements in my own life. I need to learn how to be more comfortable taking risks so that I may know when it is the right time to do so.
Avoiding calculating and then acting on the upcoming step
I tkink I’m too often not brave enough to accomplish what I want. I find excuses and let my fears, my pride or my lazyness drown me. But It’s enough, I’ll find my way out and regain control of my life.
My biggest fear,is facing up and saying enough is enough and I’m leaving. Everyday I stay with him I can feel myself loosing something of me. No more, I need to be me again to be strong to be the warrior queen I know I am.
The true barrier is my fear of playing at the big boys table when I feel like a child. My barrier is me burying myself in busywork to avoid doing anything that stands out. It is more obvious that n a smaller business because there is more chance to stand out so I bury myself in rubbish work
