What we fear the most is what we have to do

The thing we’re most afraid of has to be done.

If it scares you, it’s probably the most important thing you can do.

It will push you beyond your current self and abilities.

Hard and uncomfortable tasks are what make us better.

They make us realize this fear we have is actually good.

We should be fearful of hard tasks.

We’ve never accomplished them before.

What normally happens after you’ve done something you were afraid of or nervous about?

It’s not as bad as you thought.

Now you’ve done it.

You can do it again.

That’s the way to consistent self improvement.

If you don’t want to run today, a run is probably the most important thing you can do.

You don’t want to go to that interview.

You don’t think you’re good enough.

You think you’re not ready for the job.

You don’t feel like going.

You’re nervous and feel sick to your stomach.

Those are the signs you have to go.

You have to step on the other side.

Go towards the uncomfortable situation.

I’ve noticed the things I least want to do are usually the most rewarding after I’ve done them.

I normally learn the most from these situations.

They’re not as scary as the seem in our imagination.

They’re life changing events.

You can apply this to major events such as a speech or presentation or to our daily life – such as daily reading or exercise.

If you don’t want to do something understand why.

Why don’t I want to do this?

Is it because I don’t feel ready?

Is it the pressure?

The unknown?

Whatever it is I guarantee after you’ve done it, it will be easier than you thought and you’ll feel proud.

You’ve done it.

Now when the next uncomfortable task comes your way, you’ll know what has to be done.

Do what you least want to do.

It will open doors like nothing else.
