It's amazing that, even after


It's amazing that, even after all these years, the fear of failure still rears its ugly head.

Within the last 24 hours I have contemplated a new project that, quite frankly, seems an excellent proposition.

The fact that it 'came out of the blue' means that it is even more welcome.

Yet...

Even though I know that...with quite a fair amount of effort...it could be a resounding success - I still have to fight those old demons in my head saying things like:

"It must be too good to be true."
"You'll begin it...but you'll never finish it."
"What if I get 'caught out' somehow?"

It's a good job that I can recognize them for what they are.

Tricks.

Tricks that your mind plays on you when an opportunity opens up to you.

You know what I mean - if something looks good - then we automatically have to find some excuses why it won't work.

They're not always easy to ignore - especially where some form of solid commitment is required!

So - watch this space as I force those voices out of the way and press on with my new project.

Just because it may look too good to be true - it doesn't necessarily mean that it is!

Only time will be the judge of whether my instincts are right or not.
