Afraid to Act

How many times have you faced the fear of talking to a person?

Filling intimidated by his status, achievements or even good looks?

Afraid to approach by thinking of all the possible ways that you are going to be rejected or turned down until the chance passes and the decision in more up to you?


I, for one, have been in these kind of situations more times that I can remember with the same response…

Proper change won’t happen until you are ready for it.

So I decided to change and the next time I would face an opportunity I would not freeze.

After all, what is the worst thing that could happen?

The chance came and I talked and the result was nothing close to rejection; it was an awesome talk with lots of ideas being exchanged in the process which turned out to be a really good friend and business partner in the future.

You never know what what you miss unless you act and each opportunity will teach you something you didn’t know!


We are all humans and we want to connect and communicate in as many ways as we can.

Improvement comes out of your comfort zone by doing things that you are afraid or even things that you haven’t imagined possible!

So STOP overthinking, keep moving and act!

You will be surprised by the results and where this path will lead you!
