I’m looking at the “I had it moments”. I have seen opportunities and been really close to taking them. But fears of financial failure have held me back. And when I have chosen to stay on the sidelines, like most things, the opportunities flew right by and exploded with success.
My difficulty with the “I had it moments” is that I have had enough, at least my brain and fear tells me I have had, failed opportunities where by jumping in I caused ruin and destruction.
I have had success entering opportunities later than what would be ideal. But again, the doubt and discouragement creeps into the mental conversation. What if I had leaped earlier?
We start with the clear eyes inspired by hope and opportunity. We become imprisoned by the remembrance of difficulty and hardship. Somehow the moments of success and good fortune are lost and forgotten as we navigate choices.
Choices are difficult and uncomfortable. It’s being able to work with the difficult and the uncomfortable where we can finally begin to succeed.
