Get Productive…By Overcoming Fear!

Get Productive...Have you accomplished your objectives in the first half of 2013?

If not, is fear holding you back?

Here’s a personal short story about overcoming fear.

At Christmas I received a gift certificate for bungee jumping. I said to my sons, “I don’t know what’s on my bucket list, but I know that bungee jumping isn’t.” Several weeks ago when we were altogether, we set a date for the five of us to go to Quebec. About noon on Sunday, June 30 I conquered my biggest fear. I have never been more scared in my life. But I did it! I took the 200 foot jump!!  OK, it took three countdowns before I actually jumped, but the important thing is that I didn’t let my fear get the better of me.

If I can do it, you can too! I’m almost positive that most of the items on your list aren’t as scary as bungee jumping. So don’t waste any more time procrastinating. As the Nike slogan says, “Just do it”!

“Nothing binds you except your thoughts; nothing limits you except your fear; and nothing controls you except your beliefs.”
