When a man conceives an idea, he is motivated to start working on it immediately it is conceived. When the set time to begin working on the idea arrives, it becomes difficult for the man to set the sail and get the idea going.
Fear of what will befall him if he dares take a step, begins to creep into his mind. He will begin to ask himself doubtful questions of how he is going to cope while pursuing the idea, if he has the capacity to bring the idea into reality. So many questions that will cripple him will be asked.
Instead of focusing on possibilities, he will begin to see the obstacles all because he cannot see where the idea will lead him to. he cannot fathom what the final result will be, so he decides to abandon the idea and remain where he is. He builds a comfort zone around him and he will always find it difficult to act on any idea that crosses his heart.
Such a man always end in frustration just because he has refused to act on a noble cause due to fear of what will happen next. Fear has robbed him of what is to be his reward for following his dream all because he couldn’t see where he is heading to.
if you are ever in this position, I want to let you know that you don’t have to see the whole journey before you begin. Even if you are not sure of where that idea or dream will lead you to or through, take a step of faith. Every dream always lead to an happy ending.
Never allow fear to rob you of your future glory. Just as Jack Canfield put it, you don’t have to see the whole journey, if you can just see the next 200 meters of the journey, begin. When you get there, you will see the next 200 meters and it goes on like that till you achieve your dream. It is when you begin that you will see the next step to take, if you don’t, you won’t see it.
Let nothing stop you from pursuing that idea, it could be your key to greatness in life. Remove all the obstacles and you will eventually get to achieve your dream.

goes thus”Where there is a will, there is a way, where there is no
will there are thousand of excuses”

That is a nice article. ‘what you focus upon expands’. so,in that journey-focus only on possibilities and not on possible obstacle.

Good one Bolly,
It is the fear of unknown that scared a lots people the power
to follow their dream.they tend to focus mainly on impossibilities
rather than taking the first step in the right direction.
Moreover,do what you have passion for,with that i believe you wouldn’t give unneccessary excuses for doing what you enjoy doing all the time.

Bola,if Moses did not act,chances are that the Jews would have remained slaves in Egypt today.There is nothing wrong in trying and failing.TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN.Stories abound of those who got it right at the uptheent time.One should not sacrifice ones’ glory on the alter of fear of the unknown.

True talk Mr. Nnamdi, our failures breeds success. If we don’t start, we can’t really say where we can get to.
So great meeting you the last time
