Today we celebrate the memory of an inspirational leader who knew the importance of faith or the complete trust and confidence needed to achieve life’s big goals.Martin Luther King once said “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.“
King understood that faith has the power to diminish fear. Many of us never even attempt for our big dream because we are paralyzed by fear and lack faith.
Is there something that you have been wanting to change but just cant seem to even start?
What’s your BIG dream?
What’s getting in your way?
Sometimes the reasons that we don’t move forward in life are buried so deep in our subconscious mind that we have hard time getting unstuck. This is why progress can take a very long time. Our thoughts dictate our actions, habits and behaviors. Without awareness of the root of our actions we default back to the same ways of being.
Fear of the unknown keeps us stuck in a cycle of repeating what we know over and over again- even if in the long run it makes us unhappy. Kinda crazy, huh?
One way to start re-framing your mind is by taking action, especially in the face of fear.
Do this quick exercise right now. On a piece of paper write down:
1. One of your BIG goals or dreams
2. Three small and very doable action steps that will take you closer to achieving it
3. Exact dates of when you can complete each step
Post this up some where at home or work where you can prominently see it and remind yourself until you have accomplished each step.
