Taking The Leap of Faith - Pause. Think. Consider.

 

Too often, we let a fear of failure paralyze us to the point of inactivity. Unwilling to take the necessary steps forward and instead completely avoid situations regardless of the benefits we may have.

This episode discusses what prevents us from taking those steps forward and what we can do to take the leap of faith and overcome our fears.

QUESTION(S) OF THE DAY: When was a moment in your life that you had to build up the courage to do something? Please let me know in the comments.
