How to Stop Being Push Around By Your Fears And Start Leading By Your Dream

Don’t Be Pushed Around By The Fears In Your Mind. Be Led By The Dreams In Your Heart

We live in a culture where people are afraid of failure and success. We want the easy road and avoid anything that might set us back.

But if we keep trying to get by without ever trying for what we want, we end up going nowhere.

To make our dreams come true, we need to be brave enough to start leading by our dream.

Here are six tips to help you stop being pushed around by your fears and start leading by your dream.

Stop taking things so personally

When you take things too personally, it’s easy to get offended, feel threatened, or feel like you’ve been wronged.

But instead of taking things personally, why not try looking at them from a different perspective?

Ask yourself:

• Is this really a problem?

• Why does this bother me?

• What am I afraid of?

• What can I do about this?

Once you’ve asked these questions, you’ll have a much better idea of what you can do about a problem or issue.

In other words, when you can’t solve a problem, stop taking it personally.

Don’t worry about making mistakes

Mistakes happen; they’re part of the journey. They’re inevitable. But there’s a difference between having a few “mistakes” in your life and having a string of mistakes.

When you start having a string of mistakes, you’re going backward. You’re letting fear lead you instead of allowing yourself to dream.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. Some were major. Others were minor. Either way, I learned from each mistake and used it as a stepping stone to achieving my dreams.

I don’t think we’re meant never to make mistakes. I believe we’re meant to make mistakes, learn from them, and then do great things.

But we can’t allow ourselves to be dragged down by our mistakes. Instead, we need to let them help us so that we can grow.

Don’t get overwhelmed

The thing about a dream is that it can seem overwhelming at times. It can be hard to know how to start. But don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Some people think they should wait until they have all the answers before they begin. They say that they want to do things right the first time.

But this isn’t the right approach. You can’t wait for perfect conditions. If you wait for perfection, you’ll never start. You’ll just be waiting.

The truth is that the best leaders start leading by their dreams long before they have all the answers. They know they will need to adapt along the way, and that’s ok.

You don’t need to know everything before you start. You need to get started.

Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses

It’s no secret that a lot of people struggle with self-esteem. They feel that they’re not good enough.

If you’re struggling with this, there’s a good chance you’re focusing on your weaknesses, not your strengths.

Start by writing down a list of your strengths.

Then ask yourself: “What is the one thing I’m good at?”

Next, write down your weaknesses.

You’ll probably notice that there are things you’re bad at that aren’t necessarily a problem.

For example, you’re probably bad at organizing, but that doesn’t mean you must spend all day organizing.

Instead, focus on the one thing you’re good at, and put all your energy into improving that skill.

If you focus on your weaknesses, you only set yourself up for failure.

Focusing on your strengths will make you more confident and unstoppable.

Think of your strengths as the foundation of your life and your weaknesses as the bricks that support it. 

Stop comparing yourself to others

You’re unique. Your life is yours alone. So why do you constantly compare yourself to other people?

Why is that so important to you?

If you’re not happy with who you are, why are you so concerned about what other people think?

Why do you feel so bad about yourself when you’re not living up to someone else’s idea of who you should be?

Your life is not someone else’s. You’re a beautiful, unique, wonderful, and amazing human being. You are you, and that is who you are.

I know it’s a little cliché to say, “stop comparing yourself to others,” but it’s true.

You are not anyone else and don’t need to try to live up to anyone else’s standards.

Why would you want to?

When you compare yourself to others, you only see half of yourself. You’re looking at yourself from the outside. You’re looking at your flaws and shortcomings.

If you want to lead by your dream, you will have to stop comparing yourself to others.

Instead, you need to focus on what you’re good at and stop thinking about what you need to change and improve.

Stop comparing yourself to others. Focus on what you’re good at, and you’ll start to build confidence. 

Set goals

You know that feeling when you’ve been good at something, and then something happens that makes you want to give it up? You’re tempted to quit.

Don’t be like that.

Set goals, and get clear on your intentions. When you do this, you’ll have a much better idea of whether you’re making progress.

Goals are useful because they help you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing. They allow you to gauge your results and see if you’re on the right track.

When you’re setting your goals, you’ll be able to see what you’re doing well, what you need to improve, and what you can do to reach your ultimate goal.

Conclusion

Dreams are a powerful force in our lives. They shape our future, guide us, and can make us believe in something we may not even have seen.

If you’re ready to stop letting your fears stop you, it’s time to start leading by your dream. And there is no better place to start than by learning to stop being pushed around by your fears and start leading by your dream.
