Fear of unknown
Being afraid
I have been asking myself some hard questions lately and also I have been thinking about reasons why we do things in life, or better yet why won't we do some things. And the reason why I keep doing this like I do, even when I know that I should do something else is fear.
Fear of unknown
I am afraid of change because I won't know what would happen if things were different.
Every time I start to see success I stop, every single time. And I know that I am not alone. Good thing is that these fears are something that we can get rid of, be having trust. We need to trust ourselves but also we need to trust people around us, because there is nothing to fear if we have the support of those that matter the most.
So my advise is that go for it. You will be okay

I would challenge you to go even deeper.
Why do you stop when success is within view? I am very familiar with this sort of self-sabotage, but I needed to go deeper with myself. Why do I do this repeatedly?
What I discovered is that I often feel as if there's just so much that I don't know, it becomes overwhelming. So instead of embracing the challenge, I can often shrink back, because to move forward would mean that I have to take responsibility, which means extra work may be required.
I remember getting stuck when I was going through the Certification, we're talking like weeks worth of being stuck on one lesson! Initially, I just wasn't getting the lesson. But soon, I just kind of threw my hands up as if to say "Oh, well." The several weeks of not moving forward with the training could have easily been reduced to just a week or two, had I taken more responsibility.
Knowing your "why" behind your actions or inaction, could prepare you for when you're in that same situation.
Getting deeper was a tremendous help. I'd love to hear your thoughts, Virpi.
How has this month been for you so far?
