Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - September 12, 2023

 One good day does not mean you can coast tomorrow. You never have it fully licked. Making good choices is an endless process. Many areas of life that we value most—our relationships, our fitness, our craft—require a continual commitment. – James Clear

If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. – Gail Sheehy

As we have embarked on creating and implementing our personal growth plans, we all need to be prepared for delays that may come and fear of failure.  When those delays arise, we will often move towards procrastination, which will prohibit us from moving forward.  This will cause inaction.  However, we must overcome that fear by taking one action.  That one action will encourage us to take the next action towards overcoming fear and delays.

President John F. Kennedy said:

There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.

If we live in fear and do not take actions to grow, we stifle our opportunities and we risk not accomplishing our purpose, dreams and goals.

ACTION:  What one actions will you take today to help overcome fear and help you on the path for your personal growth?
