It's an emotion. When you find out that you're just afraid of the emotion, you'll feel empowered to move forward. ACKNOWLEDGE THE AVOIDANCE Avoidance will keep you from your dreams. -It keeps you small -It creates a nature of delay in your character -It shrinks the world that is available to you Remember, we all know people who talk big. But you know the difference between those who talk big and those who actually implement and do. Be a doer. Be someone that when people hear you say something that you are going to do, they know you'll do it. Practice this on your own, in the smallest of small ways. Excuses about your preferences will keep your potential buried. -Stop preferring to "feel like it"  -Develop emotional maturity to know the difference between priorities and preferences -Decide to be someone who doesn't make excuses - and be proud of yourself every time you act as this person Focusing on your lack will sabotage what you do have -You have all you need right now to start -Own the time abundance in your life - and create more -Stop believing that you need to do it all on your own BETTERHELP SPONSORSHIP: This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
