It’s sometimes hard for me to take the 1st step because I get caught up in all the “what if’s”. What if I’m wrong? What if I’m not accepted?
There has not been one time, when my “what if’s” have come true after I took the initial step. It does not mean that everything turned out the way I wanted but it was never as bad as the my what if scenario.
There are people who seem to take the initial steps fearlessly, never having that what if moment. I say seem because may be they do have that moment of doubt but don’t admit to it. I remember those major 1st steps which if I had listened to my inner voice, I would never have taken:
- Learning to swim & bike.
- Going on a wilderness trek for 5 days alone.
- Admitting that I needed help.
- Saying “I am worthy” out loud.
There are many others but these come to mind first. When I look back & remember all of the mental hurdles I put in my way, it feels silly but also human. I’m not perfect, sometimes I don’t want to take any steps at all & at other times, I can’t wait. I’ve also stepped into things blindly & am still here today.
Heidi Thoughts:
- Listen to that inner voice & think about what it is saying. Sometimes, it is meant to save us getting into harm’s way.
- Believe in yourself.
- Talk to people who have taken the same 1st step – may be they can give you advice & support.
- It’s only one step & you can step back if you have to.
Our life is a journey with a lot of steps.
