Identify the fear

Why is it that we would rather remain miserable than move toward a dream we have had and the possibility of happiness? 

Fear.

Fear of the 'unknown'.

This unknown fear is actually an 'unfamiliar' fear, and because it is unfamiliar, it isn't easily identified based on past introspection.

With the right mindset, the correct questions and the right support group, we can identify this fear and disarm it.

This isn't to say it goes away, in fact life with out fears is a life short lived. Fear is necessary for survival, being crippled by our fear however, is cowardice. 

Asking the question "what is the fear?" will aid in moving you towards your goal. You must ask and identify for yourself this fear, no one can do this for you, you must investigate for yourself.

Remember to be compassionate with yourself  through the entire process. 

All great discoveries began on uncharted territory, by brave men and women who understood this fear and were able to transcend it.
