If going forward in your life scares you, you are not alone. If taking your first step makes you uncomfortable, you are not alone. If going after your dreams scares you, you are doing the right thing.
You are not wasting your time. You are using your time wisely. You are trying. You are getting better. You are learning. Above all, you are tired of where you are.
You want to see something new in your own life. You want to experience a new life. They are cool, right? But to get to the other side, you have walls to climb. You have some boxes to unpack. You have some mathematical equations to solve.
If you can solve them, success is yours. If you can face your fears, you are more likely to do well in your life. You are more likely to meet other successful people. They are people who have done what you want to do, being to where you want to be.
They made it because they had the courage to face their fears. They didn’t run away from them.
So if you want to get to the other side of your life, you can do it. You can get there. You don’t have to worry about anything. Because you are not going there alone. God is going with you. God will never let you down.
But you have to do your part. You have to do your work, even when you do not know how to do it. God will not put you down. Because He knows that the road ahead is not going to be easy.
God is who you need when you don’t know what is going to happen in the future. No matter where you are in your life, no matter what is standing right in front of you, you can face it. Do not be afraid. Fear means go, not stop.
You have what it takes to do what you want to do. You have what it takes to face failure. Because you will never succeed in your life if you are scared to fail. Accept it. Because failure is the gateway to your success. So if you want to be successful in your life, you must act courageously.
