Most of us know what we want. The challenge is that knowing what we want and having the courage to pursue it are often two very different things. In this episode, we unpack the fears, excuses and thought patterns that can keep us stuck between where we are and where we know we’re capable of being. From fear of failure and criticism to comfort, confidence, purpose and trusting God with the unknown, this is an honest conversation about what really stops people from pursuing the dreams and desires placed on their hearts. We discuss ambition, entrepreneurship, self-doubt, confidence, personal growth, time management, resilience, purpose, faith, courage, criticism, comfort zones, decision-making, risk-taking and the importance of taking the next step even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. We also explore how the people around us can shape our thinking, why some dreams stay ideas for years and how waiting for certainty can stop us from ever starting. This conversation is for anyone who feels caught between the life they have and the life they sense they’re called to build, is tired of allowing fear to make their decisions and wants to grow in confidence, trust God more deeply and move forward with greater courage and conviction.
