Stop Doubting and Start Doing Part 2

Last week we talked about Getting Into Motion and how I overcame my fear in the flash-over chamber to earn my shield as a firefighter.

Even though I doubted my abilities, my Lieutenant thought I was ready to check off this task, but I needed some help to get through it.

There is an old saying, “Many hands make light work.” There is also the Bible verse in Proverbs 15:2 (NIV), which says, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”

There is no such thing as a self-made person. Every person on the planet has had help in some way or another. Even if they don’t know it. Sometimes we don’t see the spiritual realm working on our behalf.

Just as my lieutenant was there to support me when I didn’t know if I could move forward, find someone to help you move forward in catching your dreams. It might be a friend, family member or a mentor in your community. If none of those fit the bill, consider hiring a coach to help guide you where you want to go.

In my case, that Lieutenant has been supporting my dream for the last seven years of our marriage. Once you found your support system of person it’s time to do the tough stuff.
