I have thinking a lot about risk lately and what makes me afraid to take it. I have spent the past few years struggling to figure out what I want to do with my life, but when push comes to shove I find myself inextricably stuck. I think about where I would like to be and try to visualize my future, but I find myself unable to make the leap. I am full of excuses and I seem to hold myself back. I thought making a list of some the excuses I make might be helpful.
Excuses for not making potentially life changing risks:
- Fear of failure
- Not being financially secure
- Dreams not being the reality
- Having to start climbing the ladder again
- Being afraid to be away from family and friends
- The unstable economy (I feel I should be grateful for the job I have, but I still fell stuck)
- Fear of the unfamiliar
- Not wanting to do things alone
- Fear of embarrassment
