How to begin anything

Why is it so hard to begin something new? 

1. Fear of failure: (What if I begin and I can't accomplish my vision? What if it doesn’t work out?)

2. Fear of being seen and being judged: (What will other people think of me?)

3. Fear of not being enough: (Someone can do it better. Someone already is doing it better. I won’t do it well).

4. Belief in lack of resources: (I don’t have the money, time, nor support systems).

How do we get past all the blocks and fears and begin anyway? 

There is one way that works for like magic. Think of the smallest step you can take in the direction you want to go and take it.

How does taking one small step help me achieve my dreams?

When you take a small step in the direction of something you’d like to begin, its signaling to yourself that you’re starting! If you focus on one small step at a time and don’t get caught up in the overwhelming feeling of the big picture, you can use small step after small step to build on each other.
