Sometimes in life, you’re faced with two difficult decisions, and choosing the right one can seem daunting. These pivotal choices—whether it’s selecting a high school, choosing a college, or purchasing your first home—are significant and can shape your future in profound ways. Such decisions often come with a mix of excitement and apprehension, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the weight of these choices.
Fear, though often viewed as a negative emotion, can actually serve as a valuable guide. It can highlight what truly matters to you and push you to weigh your options more carefully. By acknowledging and understanding your fears, you can use them as a tool to make more informed and thoughtful decisions. Embracing fear as part of the decision-making process can help you confront challenges head-on and ultimately lead you to choices that align more closely with your goals and values.
Property Management
Becoming fearless especially when handling major aspects of your life can be something that seems out of reach, and maybe even overwhelming. Buying your first rental property and committing to becoming a property manager may seem like a daunting task, but if you’re able to see past this and notice that you’re actually making a positive life decision, you may just conquer that fear. Pushing yourself past this fear can actually make you a better and stronger person, as well as making your business stronger.
Where would society be without inventors who hadn’t pushed themselves past their fears? Acknowledging the fear is the first step to realizing you’re onto something big. It’s your body’s natural instinct to be nervous and anxious when making a resolution. Take it as a sign that your body knows you’re onto something, but is purely cautious. If you harness the fear, but also are aware of the caution then not only will you have the confidence to keep going and achieve your goal, but the next time you encounter a similar situation, you won’t be as hesitant to go through with the decision.
Harnessing your fear while remaining aware of its purpose can boost your confidence and help you achieve your goals. Each time you navigate a challenging decision, you’ll become more adept at handling similar situations in the future. Fear, when managed effectively, can be a powerful catalyst for growth and success.
Pushing through the wall of ‘firsts’, like first property, first booking, or first employee, you’ll become more and more confident in the idea that you do know yourself best, and that your decisions have worked out in your favour. Getting over your fears may sound like childhood rhetoric, but at the same time there is still some truth to them: skills only improve with age, and if you hone in on them, you’ll be better off.
If you feel as if you’re stuck or unsure what to do next, take a deep breath and write down the options ahead; what needs to be done? By illustrating on paper that you know what you have to do, it’ll help you conceptualize the steps to take afterwards. Big decisions take time, and they take energy, but if you are able to see what needs to be done, you’ll be better prepared.
