Are you worried...?

What is worry?

Short three letter question but are you confident in how to answer it? Is it fear?

No, fear is what blocks opportunity. I once heard someone smart say the devil only places fear in front of a door that he knows you won't fail at. So fear is an emotion that holds you back or blocks you from going down a path potentially.

I'd also recommend that if you are looking at an opportunity today and you feel fear to ask your self if you knew failure was not an option how would you react? Then do it NOW! You may say, "Well Stacy you don't know my situation." You are right but we can never change the pain of regret in the future.

...So this takes us back to our original question. What is worry? It is my belief that worry is something we often experience as we walk through opportunity before we achieve our destination. It's taking tomorrow's problem or the problem from next week or next year and assuming that it's going to happen today. A problem which may never actually occur. We shoulder that burden usually by saying "What if".

The result often times is that we will choose a new path to walk down and get off our path of opportunity. Today I encourage you to not let fear hold you back or let worry get you off track.

You can do it!
