Fear to Freedom: How to Overcome Doubt and Forge a New Path
You can re-architect your life at any time.
And you don’t have to burn everything to the ground or give up everything you’ve fought so hard for.
The idea of re-architecting your life is significant — but it doesn’t need to be hard.
In fact, the process of reimaging your life, albeit challenging, isn’t the hard part.
The hardest part of creating a new life for yourself is deciding to create a new one.
All the fear, all the self-doubt, the endless barrage of commentary from your mind will do everything in its power to keep you from that decision.
It will do everything in its power to knock you off the path once you make the decision.
How does one make that decision in the face of all this, coupled with the fear of losing everything?
Through the cultivation and embodiment of self-trust.
Self-trust isn’t the belief that everything is going to work out okay; we have no way of knowing that.
Self-trust is the deep inherent knowledge that regardless of how our endeavor works out, we will be okay.
If your endeavor fails, it will suck and sting, but you’ll be okay.
