Things You’ll Need:

A list of ideas/things that scare you the most
A buddy
Faith

Step1

Write down everything that you’ve always been afraid to do. Possibilities include opening your own business, publishing a book, dating after a painful divorce and going back to school.

Step2

Find someone that you can trust. It can be a friend, a co-worker, a sister or brother; however, choose someone that you can count on, who will encourage you to take the next step. Then, give that person a copy of your list.

Step3

Take the first step. Whatever it is you want to do, there is always a first step; for extra support, bring your buddy alongside of you. The only way to do something you’ve always wanted to is to take steps to get there. You can do it.

Step4

Have faith in yourself. If you don’t succeed the first time, try again. If you’re on your way to the tattoo parlor and just can’t bring yourself to walk in the door, try again the next day. The first step was actually getting there; walking through the door will follow. And again, rely on your buddy for support. That’s what they are there for.

Tips & Warnings

Be confident. You can do anything you put your mind to.
Believe. Faith in the unseen defines the true meaning of the word; therefore, believe and you will then see.
