We procrastinate which is another word for hesitate, doubt because we are in a fear state. The fear is always a fear of overwhelm. We fear that we will become overwhelmed and unable to carry out that which we say we want. So we temporarily stop ourselves and give ourselves a host of excuses and rationalizations as to way we are “not yet ready,” or that we “need to prepare ourselves just a little more.” No, success doesn’t work that way. When we are truly committed to something to happen we are willing to “get rich or die trying.” When you are willing to do whatever it takes, you feel the fear, but do it anyway. Also, there is another problem which is in how we define the problem. I would like you to no longer use the word fear to describe the feeling that you have when you are about to undertake something new and/or risky. I would like for you to substitute the word “excitement” for the word fear. An inexperienced mountain climber feels “fear”, an experienced mountain climber feels “excitement”. In the body, it is the same feeling. How you react to it depends a lot on how you choose to label it.
