punch through without fear ...
.
Adapted from Chicago attorney Anthony Reeves ...
One of the most horrifying things about pushing your way to success is when you get to that point where you are ALMOST there!
That point is scary as hell!
Not sure what I am saying ? While you are driving towards a goal, you are focused solely on that goal. You are used to being in the trenches, grinding away. You are making new relationships, fine tuning your craft, trying out options and opportunities. You are doing everything you need to do. You are fighting your battles. You take a loss here and there, you lick your wounds and you keep on fighting.
Then one day, it finally happens. You get that opportunity. It is the one that you have struggled, pushed, and scraped for and now it is in your hands. You deserve it. You earned it. You fought for it. It is yours!
Then, it happens! You pull back a bit.
What the hell are you pulling back for now?? You are a warrior. You fought for this moment! This moment is YOURS!
It is time to make work for you, happen for you, produce for you.
The problem is your wounds! You have been beaten down so many times. You have had so many "great opportunities" thrown your way that turned out to be nothing. You have had to 'pick yourself up' after being thrown to the curb. You have been used and taken advantage of too often. You are just at the point where you are just NOT sure if this IS it. So many times, you have told yourself you would know when you reached your goal, but after getting burned so many times, you are not sure any more.
Well, STOP pulling back the reigns. Part of the reason you got THIS far is because you were NOT afraid to jump into the fire. You were NOT afraid to *punch through* when you thought you had hit the jackpot. The simple fact is, there really is NO magical "I have arrived" moment. It just does not happen that way. The *pot of gold* is not at the end of the rainbow. The *pot of gold* is when you started following the rainbow because you were not afraid to get outside and walk in the rain.
There are COUNTLESS stories of individuals who pushed and kept pushing until they got to where they wanted to be, to where they are. If you keep chipping away at the wall, do NOT worry if you cannot put a hole in the wall. Keep chipping away, and the wall will fall down on its own!

Great post! Maybe that is why I have a few almost finished projects. Or maybe because the fun it in getting new ideas up and running.
So many opportunities, can't grab them all at once. Picking and choosing my favorites, following through.
Thanks!
