Confidence Crisis: Facing Life's Most Dangerous Opportunity

Confidence Crisis

All of us experience a confidence crisis when we're on the brink of starting a new venture or taking a new direction in life. There's always that moment when our fear of being seen as 'not good enough' prevents us from stepping confidently into the world.

To achieve your heart's desire to successfully navigate the world you must experience, then walk past, the fear of not being worthy or good enough. You must face life's most dangerous opportunity--a crisis of confidence--head on.

A Confidence Crisis is Life's Most Dangerous Opportunity

Why do I call a 'confidence crisis' life's most dangerous opportunity?

By definition, a crisis is a decision point--or point in time when things come to a head--such as in a medical or personal crisis when it's a critical time to decide on a course of action and follow through.

The Chinese symbol for the word 'crisis' has two characters with one meaning danger and the other opportunity. Every crisis presents us with both danger and opportunity.

Crises come in many forms--job loss, divorce, illness, financial difficulties, new boss, or dealing with difficult people. In each of these crises we can choose to see the danger or we can choose to step past the fear to see the opportunities to make new choices for a better life.

A confidence crisis is life's most dangerous opportunity because you must conquer it first before taking on the other crisis at hand. A confidence crisis allows you to test your ability to handle life. 

You'll grow stronger and more confident every time you choose to deal with your confidence crisis by taking action despite the fear.

Step Out of the Danger into the Opportunity

Do not be afraid of life's difficulties and crises. They strengthen your ability to tackle life.
Choose to view your momentary fear of unworthiness as your 'most dangerous opportunity' and consciously step out of the danger into the opportunity. 

If I knew I could not fail, what would I do today to create the life I desire?
