#256 - Why We Don't Take Action On Our D...

Tarryn MacCarthy
About this episode

Taking action means laying out a plan to achieve your goals and putting in a consistent effort to achieve them. Over time, you can make the visions of your dreams real. Dreams inspire you to build a life bigger than what you have now. But dreams without taking action are just that… dreams. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks about taking action on our dreams and what holds us back from actually doing so: fear. We've all been afraid of taking action at least once in our lives. It’s a natural response to moving out of your comfort zone. But while you shouldn’t rebuke yourself for feeling fearful, neither should you wallow in it so that you never get past it.

[4:00] We start looking for blame

[13:26] Fear of success is not available to me
[15:07] Fear of not being loved or accepted
[17:19] Taking action is so much more understanding and learning about ourselves
[19:48] Fear will always be there
[22:43] Outro
