Are you afraid to follow your dreams because they might not come true? But what if they do, and you don't even try to find a way to them? Is fear holding you back?
Fear may be holding you back. It may trap you and convince you to settle for what you already have because asking for anything more would lead to potential problems or failure.
Sometimes fear means you're moving in the right direction. It means following your heart, chasing your goals and living your dreams. It means doing what is best for you. These are 7 facts that show that you are afraid in life and therefore you will not achieve your goals and success.
1. Never put yourself out there for fear of rejection
You don't want to be rejected. You let opportunities pass you by because you worry about being told no. At least give yourself a fighting chance, there's nothing wrong with being rejected. You will gain experience and learn something from it.
2. Settle for less than you want and less than you deserve
Too afraid to go elsewhere, to get into new situations. Even though you are not completely satisfied with where you are, you try to convince yourself that it is enough. You try to pretend that everything is the way you want it to be, but in reality you are always dreaming of an escape.
3. You are afraid to make a decision
You're not sure which move is best for your future, so you end up rejecting all decisions. But it's a decision even if you don't make a decision. This will cause your life to take a certain direction that you may not be happy with. Although it's hard to make big life decisions, you have to figure out what's best for you.
4. You do what everyone expects you to do without asking yourself what you want
Instead of following your dreams, follow the path paved for you by your parents or partners. You never take the time to ask yourself if you are happy, if you are fulfilled, if this is really what you want to do. Simply follow the instructions. You assume that the people around you know you better than you do, that they know better what is good for you. Really?
5. You don't want to take risks, regardless of what you might gain
You worry about taking risks because you don't want to lose. But you don't realize how much playing it safe is costing you. You don't realize what you're giving up if you take the easy way out instead of the way you want to go. Although this involves risk, sometimes risks are worth taking.
6. You have more and more reasons to procrastinate
Perfectionism will prevent you from achieving what you want. It's great that you're trying to be better, but you'll always find new ways to improve if you pay attention to it. No matter how many hours you put into a project, it will never be perfect. You just have to let go and see where it takes you.
7. You don't even dare to say your dreams out loud
The first step to realizing your dreams is recognizing what they are. Don't worry about other people judging you for what you want to do with your life. Don't let their opinions stop you from chasing your wildest dreams. If you want something badly enough, don't be afraid to share it with the world. Go after them.
