One of the biggest reasons we don’t try to do something we want to do is the fear that we will fail. Ok, that is probably the only reason. Doubt is a five-letter word that in the past has been known to kill my motivation faster than I could say it.
But what you want to offer to the world is completely unique from any one else. You will offer a different twist, a different spice, and reach a whole new spectrum of people. But there has GOT to be someone out there who has done something similar to what you want to do, and has completely rocked it. Go find that person. Find the books they have written, find books written about them, their websites, whatever. Find the stories of couples that have reached their 50th wedding anniversary and are happier than ever – and stop reading “the five things you’re doing that your boyfriend hates” or whatever this month’s divorce statistics are.
Focus on the positive examples that build up your motivation, and stop reading or talking about all the examples of why you might fail. Yeah, the economy sucks. But there are still millionaires. Yeah, there are some people who work so hard they have no time for anything fun. But then there’s Richard Branson.
For every excuse there is an exception. Find the exceptions and learn their “stuff”. It is only a matter of time before you are bringing their energy in to your life.
