“If I fail, I’ll lose myself!”
When we can’t come up with a clear vision for what we want, there is something in the way.
Deep down, we know what we want and most of us have a very difficult time fully owning and uncovering that deeper truth. When it’s time to vision and then create the life we want a whole lot of fears
Think about changing careers, ending a relationship, moving across the state, country or globe or starting a business.
“What if I fail and lose money?”
“What if I succeed but I find out I don’t really want it?”
“What if I look like a fool in the process?”
“What if I’m not a skilled/passionate/resourced enough to make this work?”
All of these fears are real and the deeper fears are what sabotage us.
“What if I go through the struggle of going for it and lose who I think I am?”
For this client, he had a deeply buried fear that he might lose his gratitude, altruism, generosity and healthy growth mindset. He was afraid to go through the Odyssey and come out with less optimism, hope and with a disconnection from his values.
Watch or listen to learn how I helped him shift beyond that fear.
All of us have these deeper fears and beliefs holding us back. I know I do, which is why I work with amazing coaches.
It’s Your Turn.
