Linda Formichelli says that your excuses are trying to be helpful to you. Somehow your brain is considering it more important to avoid possible failure or being embarrassed than to take action on what you want to do. We need to remember that everybody feels this fear, everybody has this resistance. If you are envying someone who’s doing everything you’ve always wanted to do, even though they look like they have no fear…they do. They have just learned to act in spite of the fear.
