When we think about the future, we feel many things at once. It is always filled with hope which co-exists with fear of the Unknown. We all love to dream and make lists for our future. It is exciting to think about all the possible opportunities; and all we wish to achieve. Dreaming about our future adventures fills us with this sheer motivation to take action and turn those dreams into reality.

But whenever we take new steps in our lives, it feels like we are standing at the end of the road. We don’t know where to go, and which path to take. We are scared to leave our safety net and explore new things.

It is said people don’t fear death but The Unknown that is there at the end.

Taking the first step is always terrifying.

Taking the first step toward our goal always scares us. The more we want to achieve something, the more scary it gets to start. It is terrifying to step forward when you are already thinking about all the ways you could fail. it feels like being struck in the midst of all the different possibilities.

What frightens us is uncertainty.

We are always uncertain about our future and worry even before doing anything. While dreaming about all the opportunities we could get, we also think about all the ways we could fail. We believe there are 100 ways to fail and only one way to success. Why are we always thinking about the future problems we can face when we haven’t even started?

It is overwhelming to think about all the “what ifs” even before starting.

Are we deciding to be cowards rather than take a fall?

Even before taking any action, we think about ways we will fall. We withdraw ourselves and postpone our plans to take action. We have a habit of doubting ourselves when we try to find success. We wish to succeed in our life without facing any difficulties. But is it feasible to succeed without facing any hardship? How can you grow when you don’t take risks?

By not stepping forward, we are falling behind.

It is normal to be scared of the unknown. But we need to remember if we are not taking any steps towards our goal, we are already failing. We are letting go of opportunities to change the outcome. If we don’t take steps to change for the future, our future won’t change either. Doing nothing to change your circumstances, will result in nothing.

Sometimes it might feel like walking in the fog, or the total darkness. But remember why you started to dream. Remember your goal and hope you have for your future, amid all your fears. Embrace the unknown and jump with determination, clutch onto your dreams to see the end. Remember the fall and how you stood again. And remind yourself that it’s ok to fall as long as you continue to move again.
