Fear vs Courage – How to move forward with your life
Do you ever wonder that when you get excited about doing something, you do it with gusto for a while and then all of a sudden, the same excited feeling disappears? What do you call this? I call this fear. It was like this for me when I joined the gym. I was so excited to finally work out and lose the 20 pounds I’ve put on a year before. I hired a trainer and worked out five times the first week. The second week came and then, I started to have the dreaded ‘internal’ dialogue that said “You’re too tired to work out today, why don’t you just go in tomorrow?” Tomorrow came and went. And so did the next day and the next (you get the picture). A month past by and not only did I not go to the gym, I gained an extra 5 pounds! I ate because I felt ‘guilty’ for not going to the gym. I know, it didn’t make sense to me either. But, it happened just the way I said.
We are still in the midst of exploring who we are on the inside. By doing so, sometimes fear and his friend ego will go hand-in-hand and tell you to “slow down, think about what you are about to do, do not do anything ‘irrational’, or, you will regret this later and so on and so forth.”
