It's All In Your Mind
Jumping allows you to look fear right in the face and say "Look at me now". It allows you to push past barriers you never thought were possible to get around. This is what most people fail to do. They fail to jump and take a leap of faith. Is it scary? Yes. Could it backfire? Yes. Would you know how far you would've gone if you never jumped? NO. Absolutely not. Don't live with regrets. Follow your energy and do what you really want because the world needs you. It is your time to JUMP! Peace to the world.
What's one thing you are afraid to accomplish?

It's always and will always be a matter of mindset. Nice blog.
I agree with that and thanks for stopping by.
You're most welcome @humanearl
@humanearl,
Some of my dreams are little bit scary at the moment! At the frustration stage of leaving the job and to be a full time STEEMIAN! Still not decided!
Cheers~
Ah. That's a good problem to have I would say. There's so many factors that may go into that decision for you so I can't tell you what to do. If you can pull it off financially then I don't see why not but it's your call.
Just understand where you are and what you can handle. I wanted my wife to quit her job so that I could start attempting to post 2 times everyday but we recently just made a decision for her to simply cut back her hours which will still help me get at least 2 extra posts out during the week.
This way she still brings in her money while I am steadily growing my blog.
Whatever decision you make just have faith and confidence that it will work itself out. If you still need help talking it through then let me know.
I agree with @humanearl simply because the suggestion is reasonable and sensible.
@theguruasia, you've your decision to make, do not rush, take your time to give the matter on ground a deep thought and proper evaluations. Talk about it to trusted and matured friend, you know why? As written by a book of wisdom:
I wish you all the best🙂
Your are right fear is the nasty thing that keeps us away from achieving brilliant feats. Keeping it at bay we can accomplish amazing achievements.
A bird can only learn to fly by jumping out of nest. His first flight is the most difficult afterwards flying doesn't know fear. Same is with us, first step or jump is difficult but after that nothing can stop us from achieving our goals.
Thank you for motivational and encouraging post.
Wow bro. What a great analogy with the bird. I never thought of that with that in mind.
The bigger the dream the bigger the impact of the possible failure. I have accomplished many dreams I never thought I would by using this attitude. Lets say your dream is to write a book. You have that dream because you haven't written a book. So if you try and fail you are no worse off than where you began. So you really have nothing to lose. Even in failure you learn something about yourself. Maybe you learn you are not a writer, but at least then you know and you dont spend your life wondering. One of my dreams as a younger man was to own and ride a motorcycle. The owning part came much easier than the nerve to actually ride it but after 4700 miles in the saddle it has become my favorite thing in the world. I have a patch on my Riding vest that sums up my approach to dreams well. It says, "Fear is Temporary, Regret is FOREVER"
I think people are afraid of the thought of failing more than a big dream. That is one powerful quote my friend. It speaks volumes.
Actually I am not afraid to the accomplishment that can provide me a better future. At the moment I am afraid of the results of everything, maybe it depends on our actions or anything that abrupt our decision making. Maybe that is my greatest fear , to accomplish there high expectations(my parents)😧😩.
We are all guilty of this at one time or the other...it is better you tried and failed than not trying at all. There was a biz i tried to set up by december (2017), i won't say it went down the drain, but it wasn't exactly what i envisaged. Fact right now is, i have another biz i wanna run, bigger and scarier, but i gotta do it. I failed at the other but gained more experience for competence and competition. So in actuality, did i really fail?? Because i personally do not think so!
@humanearl says it all...it is all in your mind.
Being afraid of the result of something can actually hinder you from doing that thing...The basic hindrance here is fear and I think that's what we all need to fight off.
Thanks brother for your advice 😇
@sistem...you couldn't be more right. Fear would never take any one anywhere. Thank you for putting all these in a nutshell
@sistem Thanks for the insight there and helping with that.
@slimsieris The bigger and scarier the dream the better opportunity to work your faith muscle. I started a business about 2 years ago and I failed. I got seriously burned out from overwork. But I am back stronger than ever. Doing what I enjoy. What big idea do you have if you don't mind me asking?
"But I am back stronger than ever. Doing what I enjoy."...i can't wait to say this about myself. I love steemit, but there are still other things i wanna enjoy doing...like biz
I'm looking at dealing with goods now, on a wholesale basis. My December biz was totally on a different line, although i have planned to incorporate it with this one sometime in the nearest future. I had done some survey for over a couple of years, but whenever i wanna start, it really gets scary....and drawing from the result of the past, i'd get extremely discouraged. Your post says that's not healthy, and really @humanearl, i am going to take this transition step. It is either i take it or i take it haha.
How about you sir? Apart from steemit, what do you enjoy doing?
The conviction of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen, so is faith defined by a book of wisdom.
For a goal held in mind to be achieved or attained, it is wise to jump in faith right on the proper track without fear...
Timely words of wisdom coming from @humanearl!
Once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude on your visit to my blog.
Grateful heart.
@samal
Thanks for your gratitude. It's all good. I love that statement on faith. Simple but yet so powerful.
Thanks for your compliments sir!
Most people don't push themselves enough although they certainly have the ability to succeed. It is all about taking that extra step which other people are too idle to take. So today promise yourself to take that extra step and achieve greatness.
Word. This is refreshing to hear.
OMG, I just discovered your blog thanks to @valorforfreedom and I gotta say I feel connected to you right away. I was just haunted by bad dreams as I had my spiritual most incredible time of my life at the Anarachapulco event in Mexico. Even your last photo here of the desert resembles my desert journey video thumbnail in so many ways. I totally agree with your message and I am putting out a video about my spiritual believes today that explain the foundation to why what you say is so true.
i don't know anything about you yet but I already know that I did find you for a higher reason. Let's be the creator of our creatrix!
@flauwy Man I've heard so many good things about you. Nice to finally meet you.
Glad we have some things in common and you're welcome to comment here anytime.
I will have to check out your spiritual experience video
Yea taking a leap of faith is very important . Many things we could have achieved but were too scared to try. Life itself is a risk. The fact that you never know what's gonna happen the next minute you leave you house yet you leave is you taking a risk. The only difference between you leaving your house on the morning not knowing what would happen and you failing to attempt that feat is simply the presence of fear. When you want to leave your house in the morning, you have no atom of fear and so take that risk with joy . But when fear creeps in, you find yourself not being able to do that which you would easily do on a normal day. So I think we should try to fight off fear at all times and tell ourselves we can do it even when our whole being disagrees.
Exactly.
Very well written @sistem, fear is the major factor that separates us from giving a shot at our dreams and goals.
Motivational speakers will say;
And without being further convinced, I have come to realize that most successful people on steemit are the risk takers. Am new to the system, but am willing to take the risk.
Thank you @humanearl for sharing, at least, I got reminded of my dreams yet again.
@sistem Great way to put it. Fear is a monster we must learn to conquer.
There is no having second thoughts when you know what exactly you should do. Having second thoughts will make you procrastinate and eventually, you might not get anything done until it is too late. This undoing might later create a loophole that allows for regrets. Do what is right at the appropriate time.
It's not like what I am afraid to accomplish, it's more like what responsibility I'm afraid of. I fear that my church leaders might make me a leader too someday. I'm afraid of that responsibility. I believe in efficiency, commitment, accountability and in being blameless in that kind of office and I'm not sure I can be all of that.
That is a big responsibility and being a church leader is a great calling. But you have to speak with God on that. Sometimes people may appoint you but it may not be God's will. But maybe being a leader in that regard will be something God puts on your heart.
every human being must have had dreams and goals in life, all the way and an attempt made to reach mimipi in life ...
There are some people when their dreams not attained be strees even mad. ..
but for me when what I dreamed not reached I will keep trying, because I believe failure is success pending ...
in life, my desire is simple I want to mean to others..
Failure is a great teacher. Use it as a tool to keep pushing forward.
For you to conceive such scary dream there that inner power inside that can drive it.... Take the leap of faith JUMP. @humanearl a powerful tonic content from you in beginning of a new month to drink.
Yepp. That's the right attitude.
I take alot of leaps and keep smashing my goals, but yeah; every time i'm about to make the next leap, I have a lil fear. I look into myself alot to try to understand it.
I sometimes wonder if i'm afraid of my own success? I think it's because all these steps in life are new and unfamiliar and i'm ok with that cautious fear.
That's understandable. It's because you are moving into uncharted territory. I actually like and embrace that feeling because you learn so much in that process.
in this life I want to be successful because I really want to help those in need, because I live in an area people who are less fortunate ...
When a dream not reached I will be patient and keep trying ...
I would say use what you have to help in any way you can. That's a start.
Have a lot of respect for you Earl for doing what you want to do and making the needed jumps to get there.
Support your goals and wish you the best in life. It’s good to post stuff like this and reflect on it.
People get caught up in their normals lives and sometimes forget there are an infinite number of options out there for you to explore. You can do whatever you think you might be capable of doing! Go do it!
Good post, keep it up.
He has really brought to life some interesting facts.
This is a power comment. Much needed. It's big time.
We have to move on and the yes fear is the worst nightmare that anyone can have !We should face it and in time we will be acquire it and make it a weapon of our own to move forward !
Right on. That's the mindset.
If I only knew what my real purpose is! I would do the jump... Yet, I have to discover my real purpose and dreams. Do you know your purpose? What is it? Did you take a jump?
Great question and sorry for such a late reply. I have been super busy.
My purpose is represent God on Earth by encouraging and motivating people. I enjoy the work I do. I tried to make this simple but I understand it may sound a little lofty. I have went all in with my purpose because I cannot lose. Even though the hardships of life come my way I still win in the end.
Please read the tips in this article to get a better understanding of somethings that can help you.
https://steemit.com/life/@humanearl/gdgt81hr
Please let me know if you need any further help because I love helping people figure this out.
I read it. It was good! I've been thinking about those things you wrote but I have to think more and pay attention. I will figure it out one day, I'm sure.
Thank you for offering me help. I might turn to you one day!
The scientific theory tells us that there is no fear in reality. Fear is the excitement of the coming event. For example, before a job interview. Some people tend to expect a worse outcome. But they do not know what will happen in reality. Uncertainty is fear.
I think that fear of uncertainty is the most common type of fear. I also have similar emotions. The expectation of certain events rises in excitement. But I practically learned to fight this senseless fear. Why is it meaningless? It's simple, it does not make sense to worry about what has not happened yet.
Therefore it is important to have positive thoughts but be prepared for any outcome of events. Learn to find positive moments in any situation. Fear of waiting does not allow people to live in the present moment. Fear of waiting does not allow a person to enjoy life. Therefore, sprinkle all the fears and enjoy the present.
In the end I would like to quote the words from of the song of the Great Bob Marley - "Don't worry be Happy"
Bob is the dude. This is why I love reggae music so much because it is filled with these types of life lessons.
You're right, it's great music. I liked the song you were listening to...
For me i did feel fear, I always pray to God when fear strucks me. We should also be aware of what we fear and faith will lead us and how we overcome it
Yes. God did not give us the spirit of fear.
@humanearl, Of course, Really encouraging and can long discuss title. We all saw dream our childhood's period. But those once very simply and no longer active. We're with being adults, dream can be serious thing. But before must need to control our thoughts and mind. Dream equal our life goal. Basically we need to create positive goal. Firstly enough 01 goal. after faced 01st one can create more aims. Across aim require to create positive thoughts and then try to see dream (only our life goals) Definitely must see not a deepest mind. Intermediate level minded only enough. Actually want to take enough mind space for win life goals. After made mind space automatically mind let to brain for do work better and planning. Ohhh...Now mind gives us more planning systems for succeed goal. It's correct way to find wealth when I see from dream. For more details you can read positive minding books of favorite positive thinking authors. I used this method and sure......exactly success. But you need to be patience. Everything immediately not receiving and need to face some difficult time. After come to succeed track we can drive automatically not a manually. Manual process also important. Hey guys.......Be ready now......... You gotta go to JUMP......JUMP.....
I hate it when kids are told to dream but then when they are adults they are discouraged from dreaming.
I wanna make my family proud but it takes so much effort to do it. I am afraid that I'll fail them. I just want to them to look at me with respect and no doubt. I have faith in myself but they don't have much for me. I'll prove them wrong. :)
Because family is involved I know it can be the toughest thing ever. But you have to walk your path and live your life. Hopefully when you are successful at whatever you do they will look at it differently.
I hope so too man. I wanna things that makes me happy. :) Thanks man. A great help as always.
@humanearl - Sir it's a very inspirational article & discussion you are carrying out... At least we need believe ourselves, otherwise we can't archive the goals of our lives... Nice you decided to initiate this discussion Sir...
+W+
Inner belief is one of the greatest drivers to accomplishment.
Fear is not a problem, but how uou react or let it affect you is the problem....
@humanearl, you're handsome and smart at the same time...this is a rare combination
Thanks for the compliments.
Thanks too for accepting them sir
I am a preety confident and I know that I am capable of reaching big goals, but for some reason I was experiencing fear. As I pondered why this was, I stumbled upon some great insights of myself and started to feel more equipped to fight and overcome the fears that come between me and my goals and dreams.
When we feel that fear we must ask why. This will help us navigate the waters of fear. But in the end we must overcome it.
Don't live with regrets. That's so good. There have been a lot of things in life where I was scared to move forward, but I did it anyways. Some of them have failed. Some have worked out. Some have been great! It's a risk, but you'll never know what could have been if you don't take the chance.
Of course. For me I just hate the thought of what would've been . So that's why I just DO.
I think that's a good plan. Better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all? :)
"What To Do When Your Dreams & Goals Are Scary". Very deep words @humanearl. We must not always be afraid of frightening dreams, because we can change that. Because the most important we must always be optimistic and stay focused on our first goal. Thank you for sharing and hope you will be successful semain to work ... :)
Thanks. Push in the directions of your fears is what I like to say.
I think it's fear of missing out FOMO that refrains many of us from getting into something. sometimes back I was the same,really skeptical about experimenting with new things.but after getting into something new that I havnt experience in my life gives me great life lessons.somtimes I make considerable profits sometimes significant losses,but ultimately I learn to handle things in some unorthodox way.but it's cool until it keeps me benefitting.
That's also another element of fear too. Experimenting is where we learn and grow.
thank you for your post because if the dream problem and ideals I think everyone is experiencing it, so after I read your post that now I am very remembered by my days ago now. thank you for your post hopefully I can always see your post, because I also recently know steemit
Welcome to Steemit. I hope you like it.
fear always persist in our mind which stops from achieving anything in life if we over come that no one can stop for achieving our goals :)
Like I say. "It's all in the mind"
Yes we would newer know how far would've gone if we never jumped. Definitely it's worth to try.
" If we don't know how can we run ten steps more when we get there, we mustn't start to run in the fist place"
I really hate that feeling of "what if". So Jump.
I personally prefer to share with your friends and ask for solutions.
before I share, I valuing the traits friends!!
friends is where we lean and share life's journey.
and I think even though we have not found the solution at least more spacious and more excitement for life.
thanks @humanearl
Precisely.
thanks so much @kwakumax :)
Never be afraid to ask. I like your statement.
Thanks for the encouragement, jump... You can look fear in the eyes, without it, you may not know how far you could go. Your words are motivational and it's very helpful particularly in this beginning of the month, with this we can take huge steps for our progress in this new month. Thanks
Thanks. That's why I 'm here. To give encouragement and support.
Waiting for the right moment will lead us waiting forever.Jump to realize it is the right moment.
Timing can also be a factor. Yes.
You got it.
Sometimes all it takes is a little leap of faith. No risk, no reward.
Exactly. And AC is one of my favorite games of all time.
Love this! You need to see my dreams - they feel impossible - but I don't believe in the impossible
Nothing is impossible. Faith will move mountains.
