Avoiding unpleasant emotions, we ourselves do not allow ourselves to live the life we dream of.
Most of us do our best to avoid unpleasant emotions and difficulties. But if you neglect your feelings at the moment, you can achieve a lot. When you are afraid but still do, you get satisfaction knowing that you are living by your own rules. You stop being hostage to your emotions.
Make a decision and act
Tim Grover is a legendary coach, mentor to Michael Jordan, author of books on self-development.
When you are passionate about your ultimate goal, difficulties become less important.
In other words, if the reason is strong enough, you will be ready to act no matter what. Therefore, it is very important to clearly define your reasons and motives - then it will be easier for you to start.
If you do the same thing as usual, you will get the same result. If you dream of something bigger, you need to do something differently.
It doesn't matter how you feel at the moment. Of course, it will be unpleasant for you, because you are leaving your comfort zone. But as Tim Ferris said, "A person's success in life is usually measured by the number of awkward conversations they are willing to start."
Start small
For example, take a cold shower. Before you turn on the water, you will experience resistance, because it is cold and unpleasant, but do not retreat. After a few seconds, resistance will be replaced by confidence and satisfaction. Confidence is an effect, not a cause.
Your actions change the way you see yourself and the world around you.
The more often you overcome your emotional blocks, the stronger you will become. You will begin to believe in yourself, because you have seen how everything works out for you. Your beliefs and self-esteem will change with your courageous actions.
Do you want to achieve something badly enough that you are ready to feel ridiculous, awful, amazing, funny and stupid on the way to your goal? Or would you rather stay safe and regret? The choice is yours.
Believe yourself
There must definitely come a moment when you stop worrying about the opinions of others. Even because of the opinions of their heroes.
Only when you fully trust yourself and your ideas can you create something bold, honest, and beautiful.
You will never be happy with yourself and your work if you don't do what really inspires you. Your most honest job will always be your best job and most likely your most successful.
