Goals vs Fears

We could all do more to create the life that we want, but how often do we?!

My life, in many areas, has been testament to playing safe. I have been so afraid of failing and so afraid of being incapable that I haven't undertaken even a fraction of the things that I've wanted to.

Today I made a list of my personal goals, and next to each goal I also wrote down the corresponding fears:

My Goals	My Fears
To help people	Being judged by others People won't take me seriously
Run a successful business	I don't feel worthy of success White-skinned people are more successful in business I'm not capable of running a business
Time freedom	Afraid that I will squander my time Only successful people have time
Financial freedom	I don't feel worthy of having money Only white-skinned people have money Only successful people have money

My journey is going to be to overcome these fears, and also to write about my journey in the hope that other people will derive some benefit.

I'm sure that in time, as I overcome each fear, that some latent goals/desires will come to the surface. For now, I'm starting small. I'm 27 years of age, and my life is very different than the life that I had planned for myself. I'm resolute in my decision to continue on until I do have the life that I want.
