Fears That Keep Us from What We Want

Fear often stands between us and our ability to make decisions, take action, ask for what we want--even to know what we really want. It is the gatekeeper of our comfort zone. But as poet-philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear." Below are 10 fears that commonly get in our way. Go to Top 10.

The following questions are designed to broaden perspectives, to open vistas, to widen the lens. There is no one right way to approach them. You can journal about them, talk to friends, create art, ponder them while driving, work out to them--whatever helps you explore "outside the box."

1. How proficient are you at setting goals?
   
   
2. Do you usually achieve the goals that you set?
   
   
3. Would intention setting work better for you than goal setting? Why or why not?
   
   
4. What was your most important goal this year? Will you/did you achieve it?
   
   
5. What fear most often comes up for you?
   
   
6. What could you do to move past that fear?
