What Am I Afraid Of?

What am I afraid of?

• I'm afraid of being attacked because I let people know too late.
• I'm afraid of the pain that went into this work last time.
• I'm afraid of getting fired because I messed this one up.
• I'm afraid that I'm not good enough to actually bring a successful campaign forward.

These fears create a sort of resistance that pulls me away from the action of facing them. But, it is these fears that I should be running towards because they represent opportunities for growth.

Just sit down and start. Feel resistance to doing that? There's no way to overcome it other than to just start. Reading more about resistance won't help. Going to an online procrastinator's forum won't help. Working on your to-do lists won't help. Only doing actually helps. And the only way to do something is to just start.

So how do you start, when you feel resistance? You just start.
