Unlock the Door

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

~ Confucius

If fear is what’s holding us back from reaching our full potential, how do we overcome that fear?

By redefining it.

I’ve written about this before and it’s worth sharing, again. But, after redefining our fear, what should we do next? It’s not as though that magically changes everything that very moment.

This is where tackling things in baby steps comes into play.

Let’s say that your fear is starting something new — maybe it’s learning a new language. How can you break it down so that learning is less overwhelming and more fun? What supports can you put into place to help you reach your goal? What encouraging words will you tell yourself as you begin your adventure (See what I did there?)

Every step of the way we need to reframe, redefine, and push forward if we want to achieve our full potential in a particular area.

Will it be scarier some days than others? Absolutely.

Will we need to make an effort every day? Yep.

Can we be fabulous doing it? Without a doubt.

All that’s required is unlocking the door, pushing it open, and seeing what’s on the other side.
