Action is difficult.

Action is difficult, because we will have to first face all our well rehearsed excuse why we cannot do it.
These excuses are like old friends that turn up every time we are challenged to get out of our comfort zone and do something new.
Failure is not the problem, because if we do nothing then we have achieved that already.
The problem is fear, the fear of the fear of failure.
The fear of what others will say about us.
The fear that people will finally discover what a fraud we really are.
Frozen in this internal fear we do nothing, and this quietens the voice of fear and we achieve little, but we are safe.
Safe is not a good place to be.
The comfort zone is the safe place, but it is boring and you will be doomed to mediocrity.
Our self talk can be so destructive and stop us from achieving all the potential that we have.

Now think about this next time you face the fear as you are about to get out of your comfort zone and do something amazing.
Stephen King did not know how to write a best seller, before he did it.
Picasso did not know how to paint “Guernica” before he did it.
No body knew what Guernica should look like before he painted it, he just did it.
Use the fear as a compass and when it shows up say, well I must be on the right track for the fear to come to stop me, so I will keep doing this.
Be the best Artist that you can be and turn your fears into a compass, not a stop sign.
