Fear of doing nothing

Fail fast than fail to do

It is very easy to say that I have no fear but in fact deep down every one is afraid of things. We only hear about those who conquer that F word. It is lot easy just to type that sentence than to do some thing about it to overcome it.

I was trying to dissect my fears over the holiday period and found that this fear has so many facets but the mother of all which pull you back from doing is Fear of Failure. This FoF is like 10 ton stone pulling me downwards every time I want to fly. This year I want to take that leap of faith and do. Because of this I shutdown my ideas even before I do File->New Project on it. Hence the theme of this year for me is Just Do It.  

So here is the plan for me to ride with fear and make it as my best friend (I may be being naive in coming up these but hey theme is  to do it, I’d fail than doing nothing).

  1. Its not that I don’t get ideas, in fact I get way too many of them and my brain gets clouded with them. Stick with one idea and do some thing about it is what I am going to do.
  2. Afraid to face criticism, every time I read about Husband, Wife and Donkey story it inspires me but putting that into action is hardest bit. As long as I am truthful, honest and satisfied with whatever I do that is enough. I will accept if there are any faults and I will improve on them but I will not let this fear drown me into sea of not doing.
  3. Keep the momentum, instead of running a marathon on one day and resting for next days I would like to act on the things bit by bit every day.
