Fear Based Decisions

Sorry to be gone for so long, I needed some time off to consider the options that I have had in front of me. That led me to write on this topic.

Personally for me, I had to think back a few years, that was the time when I made a fear based decision that set me on this path. Can't say that it didn't do me good, for I did learn many things along this path. But then it might not have been the best path for me.

I made the decision to work on a business full time, whenever I have had the chance. Well, that doesn't sound to bad does it? But to achieve that, I had to sacrifice other things, things like being able to build a good resume, or gather enough experience in a particular field.

Well it was only recently, that I realised that my decision has led me to work on things that I do not have any passion for. For one, I'm not one who is passionate about making money, and my other alternative of making money would be to do what I am really passionate about. I disgress...

So for so many years, I have started and I have stopped working on projects, and I do not even know why. Thinking that it might just be due to the fact that I got bored of it and needed something new. Which I believe, most people would dread going through their career doing the same things over and over again, in a monotonous fashion.

But when I think back now, it all started to make sense to me, in the sense that it was that I was not truly passionate about these projects, and the only reason why I was able to work on them in the first place, was because they are something fresh and challenging to do.

I don't know about you, whether you have had made a fear-based decision in your life before. For me, it felt like if I didn't make the decision that I made then, I would have lost the only opportunity to make it as an entrepreneur.

Its never too late to step back from a fear-based decision. Identify what you truly want to do in life, pursue it. But not at the expense of those you love.

Wishing you success in life.
