We are a funny lot!! We really have a disapportionate view on if we try or go for something that if we fail the world will blow up! Well, that what it seems if you choose to do nothing.  Why do we sit down and decide on what the outcome will be without having the experience and knowledge to reach that conclusion.  So through an excuse we give ourselves a 'get out of jail card' card but what we are really doing is giving ourselves a 'stay in jail card' through our actions of not doing anything.  It's just like not being able to move because your feet have been glued to the ground.

Please, I challenge you!  If one of below statements resonates with you, be true to yourself and determine whether the blockage is real or a convenient excuse to cover for your lack of resilience and willingness to take a risk!
