Turn your fear into motivation

Some of us have a fear of failure, while others fear success. What if I actually succeed, would I be able to handle it... Both fears are obstacles. A fear of failure will hold you back from trying to reach your goal, to create something, to get out of your comfort zone. A fear of success will hold back on your ability to give it all you've got, to try harder, to work towards the goal you set for yourself.
People usually fear the unknown and the future can be intimidating if you don't have a clear vision of what you want out of life. It's not just about surviving, it's about discovering and using your full potential. If you already know what your special gift is, good for you, use it! If not, then it's about time you start searching within to discover what it is you're good at. The interesting thing is, that we are holding the keys to our own future, without even giving it much thought. Of course non of us knows what's gonna happen tomorrow, but if you know what you want, it will make the journey towards it, much easier. The goal you set for yourself will be a part of your long term life vision. How do you imagine your future?
An important thing to notice is, buying a new car or a big house, earning a lot of money, loosing weight is not the type of goals I'm talking about. You have to ask yourself, how will it make me feel if I achieve this or that goal. If you are dying for attention, you don't need money or cars, you need to work on your self esteem. So what I'm trying to say is, figure out what your goal is... What do you want in life and create a vision based on how you want to live that precious life of yours.
Before you get started, you have to take a closer look on your fears. What is holding you back from doing what you really wanna do? Fear of failure or fear of success.
Also what motivates you? Fear of dying tomorrow without reaching the goal towards your dream?
Remember letting go of your fears will lead you to freedom. Just try to imagine what it will feel like to look back on your life without living out your dream, achieving the goal you had, whether it's starting your own business, writing a book, getting your dream job or moving abroad. Will you look back in anger? Regretting the time you wasted?
Fear is like doubt, you are not sure, not in control, you don't know whether it's gonna work out for you or not. The best advice on this subject is to try your best, regardless the outcome.
