You Can Do It!

So many times in our lives we need to change certain things so that we can progress but we procrastinate because of fear. Fear that it will hurt, fear that it won't work out the way we want, or fear of going outside of our comfort zone. If you are in this situation (as I think we all are in one way or another), just ask yourself one question, "What would be the worst case scenario and if that happened would I live through it?" The answer is YES you would survive! I think that not trying can be crippling and keep us in a state of limbo where we don't progress. It is my belief that no one just stays in one place. We are in a constant state of motion and it you aren't progressing forward you are regressing backward. If you do try and it doesn't work out at least you KNOW that you tried! That in itself is progress because you learn from each experience. If you try and it does work out then good for you! You did it!!! If you think about it you progress either way because of what you learned. I remember when the prophet Spencer W. Kimball came out with his famous saying of "Do It!" What great advice to follow!! What are you waiting for? Time is going by way to fast to waste it on FEAR! Our Heavenly Father wants us to succeed but we need to ask for His help and have Faith.
Remember that the kite rises against, not with the wind! Happy Day!
