If you allow fear to rule your life, you will never make room for yourself to grow with each challenge placed in front of you. Yes you can be afraid to fail but don't let it overtake the idea of ever getting to where you want in life. I guess that is the deciding factor in making the decision to change your health for the better: The Fear of Failing.
Now, being the oldest child growing up with a younger sister who our parents gave full attention to, I kind of know what fearing failure is like. I felt I had to work harder for my dad to even realize I exist. It never seemed to work but I found that I am a lot smarter than I think I am. I'm also more capable because I spent time by myself which was lonely, but, I found that I'm good at a lot of things. Fear was only gonna keep me from bettering what I chose to do with my life. Yeah there can be fear of anything may it be failing, judgement, being penniless, etc. Well, if you work toward beating your fears, they aren't fears anymore but just something you overcame. Nothing will be able to crush your spirits or make you feel any lesser than an amazing version of yourself.
In my 24 years of life, I have been through a literal hell and back. Did that stop me? Nope. Sometimes I wonder why and I have been asked why I've never given up. Yesterday, I realized why. A lot had happened but, long story short, I found my reason for living. I'm doing everything right and just need to expand.
When something new comes along, most people just stop and weight their options. I figured out that I used to do that but not now. I jump into something head first. MIND OVER MATTER. That is what makes me different. Did I fear weight lifting and what people would think? No because I know what I have to do to improve myself. Has it changed people's view of me? No but it has given me ore respect from friends and even family. I even get respect from people I don't even know. Would I have even been given a second glance if I showed fear? I doubt anyone would even look my way. My confidence is through the roof now. I didn't give in to the fear of failing. Yeah the scale may be one failure on my part by the sight of someone else, but, I'm faithful in my practice and I do practice what I preach.
Don't let a weight gain, an F on a test, or a bad relationship ever get you done. They aren't failure but something you were meant to go through so that you could make a better choice towards what God truly wants for you out of life. Each day will bring you issues or problems to overcome. You can stand there and sulk in the bad choices or take the opportunities as a way to progress and learn. What will you decide to do? I may fear failing but I'm not gonna fear living my day with regret. MIND OVER MATTER and everyone has a powerful mind capable of making the right decisions. It's time to do it now. What's stopping you? Not fear. :) Get going!!
