Face Your Fears to Achieve Your Goals

Each of us has fears of some type or another. For some it might be financial while for others it could be about family or health. Fear is part of what makes us human. However, fear isn't helpful when it doesn't motivate you to take action and overcome obstacles in your life or fulfill your dreams. To achieve your goals and true potential you will need to face your fears.

I have seen people who talk about their goals and dreams and don't put any effort into them. They are restricted by their fear of failure or the fear of being rejected. Each year passes and their dreams become increasingly difficult to enact. Their failure to act limits their happiness and possibilities.

Many people have self-esteem issues that have been reinforced in them throughout the years. They don't have the confidence to truly chase their goals. They don't believe that if they put forward the effort and make a leap of faith they can achieve their dreams. Overcoming the fear of failure makes a big difference in life success.

When you are faced with fears that limit you consider the following:

1. What is the worst that can actually happen? Can you deal with it?
2. What do you want to accomplish in your life?
3. Do you have the resources, time or support?
4. What strengths do you have?
5. How might the accomplishment of a goal rest on decisions and steps?
6. Have you ever accomplished other difficult goals?
7. Can you accept not trying?
8. Even if you fail can you feel proud of your efforts?
9. Will people really want you to fail or is this a false fear?

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
