THINGS THAT HELP YOU TO MOVE FORWARD. PART 2

1. You will never have all the information.
   It is common for us to avoid taking important decisions just because we want to know more, before we take the next step. It is true that we need to get familiar with the situation. But if you hope to receive a ready-made answer which will be crystal-clear for you, you´ll probably have to wait for a long time. Isn´t life like a caravan of questions, mistakes, improvements and readjustments? Take the best decision you can take at the moment and keep moving!
   
    
2. You´ll need courage to trust yourself.
   We tend to find hundred excuses just to avoid necessary changes. Nonetheless, the limitation that is normally in the heart of our excuses consists in the lack of confidence with yourself. We don´t trust ourselves. We think that if we get in the pitch, we will not know what to do and how to react. We are worried about the fact that it will be difficult to cope with the situation on unexplored soil of future. Trust yourself. You have already come over unexpected change before, haven´t you? Imagine that you are driving a car and suddenly your tire blows out. You probably might get late to work, but there you have it. After all, everything turns out to be fine, you just need time to get through it. It doesn´t matter what happens – you´ll certainly figure out how to deal with it.
   
    
3. What is the worst thing that can happen?
   Like jealousy, the majority of our fears are just inside our heads. When you take your time and just think of the worst possible scenario, you´ll realize that even the worst thing is not so terrible as you imagine, that you´ll be able to overcome it. If anything happens, it means that you have enough internal force and resources to deal with the situation. It is the universal law. One of the main reasons why change doesn´t happen is because we don´t even try, we tend to avoid change and stay in our comfort-zone. Nonetheless, evolving always means movement. You make it or break it. Long breaks are fraught with decadence.
   
   
    
4. The process is as important as the result.
   We tend to worry about everything. You might ask yourself something like: “What if I set a goal, but don´t reach the finish line?” Guess what? You have the full right to change your mind. Even more: in case you don´t reach you goal, it doesn´t mean you have lost. It was you who set this goal in the first place. It was your decision and you have all the reason to change it on the midway. It is true that a failure is not your destination, neither is the success. Enjoy the process of moving forward.
   
    
5. Keep following the opportunities.
   If you are on the verge of taking the right decision, you are probably concerned about the fact that you can turn out to be the hostage of circumstances, the situation without any visible solutions. Invert your perspective. If you think about it in other way, new alternatives don´t normally limit our opportunities. One of the best moments is when you follow your dream for dear life and you discover lots of new options you have never seen before in the beginning of your way. If you don´t miss interesting opportunities on the way to your dream, you can be sure that you´ll always have choice.
   
    
6. Make an effort – it is important!
   It can sound like something really basic, but one of the reasons the change doesn´t happen is because we do not try our best. Why does it happen? For some people it can be easy to follow the way of least resistance and to find excuses rather than trying. So if life offers you a challenge, ask yourself: why not? How can it help me in future? Will it help me to grow as a person? The answer is usually positive. Every challenge implies an effort of overcoming obstacles. Making an effort reveals your inner force. It helps you to believe in yourself. It helps you to grow. So sometimes we have tendency not to try because it is easy to find excuses. People who don´t want to make a change in their life are like addicts. Imagine that you ask a smoker: “Do you want to give up smoking?” This person will probably reply: “Yes, sure. I can do it anytime, as soon as I want it”. But the thing is that it is not him/her who controls the addiction, desire to smoke, it is the other way round. It is the habit that keeps control over this individual´s life. So, trust yourself and don´t be afraid to fail. If we try and fail, we are afraid to look misfits. Nevertheless, failures can happen and no one is immune to them. The good thing is that if you try – you will win more than you think.
   
    
7. Start with something that is easy to accomplish.
   Won´t you argue that it is not possible to climb the Everest if you don´t try to train in advance? Maybe in the beginning taking steps towards a change can frighten you. In this case ask yourself a question: “What is it that makes me worry?” Don´t be afraid to go deep down to the roots of your indecisiveness. Imagine that you don´t like your job but you are afraid to change something about it. You probably don’t want to lose your income and healthy sleep. If you don´t like what you do for living, it doesn´t mean you should quit immediately. Think of the following issues: what is that that you don´t like doing in your current job, how can the job of your dream look like and where can you find the features you are looking for. After that, you can actually start looking for what you want. If you fail, it means you haven´t got it yet.
   
    
8. Be a change.
   Try to ask yourself how you can improve your skills in order to find what you´re looking for. It is true that you shouldn´t change your world right away, but try to achieve some little changes in your inner world and you will notice the positive impact of these changes in a short time.
   
    

If you are terribly afraid to do things in a wrong way, you should know that it is natural, but try to keep your thoughts free from fear. You are conditioned by your cultural background and education but the only person who can save you from dependence and fear to fail – is you. You have urges to be free to do what your calling suggests you and you are free if it is you who takes decisions about your life, if it is you who takes action.
