Fear Frozen!

by Fon James on August 26, 2010

When was the last time you got so scared that it paralyzed you? I mean you just weren’t able to move. You stood still like a deer in headlights, unsure of what to do next. You were fear frozen!

Each time we experience this, it seemingly adds more fuel to our fears. We think we can’t do it. We hope we can. We suppose it will eventually work out. We try it, but we’re not sure it will happen.

These are the thoughts that usually come up for us when we are faced with our fears. Most of the time, it’s simply not addressing the fear head on. Of course I know what you’re saying, it’s easier to say, than do Coach Fon. And you’re right…it does roll off the tongue quite easily. However, when it comes to moving forward in your passion, you have to decide if you’re going to let fear keep you frozen in time, right where you are. Or will you melt those fears away one-by-one so that you can move forward in your journey to a more passionate work and life.

I know it’s not easy. It wasn’t easy for me, but I realized that each time I was fearful, it was usually because I had not researched enough or made an action plan. My fear was simply a signal to me to get better prepared to face whatever I was about to face. Of course you are fearful when you are doing something for the first time, but the best way to overcome that fear is to prepare. Not sure how to prepare? It’s easy. Once you know what you want to do, then find someone who has already done it or something similar, and research how they did it. This will give you a starting point. But I believe once you get started, every door that needs to be opened will open and every resource that you may not know you need right now, will be revealed in the appropriate time.

Stop worrying about how you will do it and just get started with a small step of what you do know to do. Most of the time, we have an idea of the first step, but we are so worried about if it’s really the right step or we’re more worried about Step 2, that we don’t take Step 1 or any action. Today, make a choice and take action. You’ll only know if it’s the right move, if you move.

Be Encouraged and Be Blessed,
Coach Fon

Getting it done…in small chunks

I remember hearing someone say…to eat an elephant, you have to take small chunks.

Confusion to Clarity…Eventually

Have you ever been confused about something? Today I was confused in Step Class at the gym. That hop, jump, stradle, then exit combo really confuses me.

No Action, No Traction

To begin a journey, you must choose to take the first step. Not often an easy step, it’s actually the most important step. Without the first step, there is nothing. You are stuck standing (or sitting) right where you are in life. If you desire to move forward, you must take action. Without action, there [...]
