Break Through Your Fears to Achieve Your Dreams

2. As you connect to your dreams or at different intervals along your path, you'll often run into the voice of your "Doubter." We typically ignore or obsess over this aspect, because it tells us everything that might go wrong. Left unattended, this voice can be disruptive. But turn the Doubter down and it becomes the voice of the "Realist," who primarily wants to know what you are planning, usually related to time and money issues. Early on, you may not have it all the details figured out, which is why going to strategy too soon can actually hinder or limit your dream.

Interview your Doubter and be curious. Capture its needs, insights and wisdom by completing these sentences (multiple times):

"The way I sabotage ____________'s (your name) dream is _______________."
Example: "The way I sabotage Susan's dream is by having her doubt herself and quit."

"When I am running _____________'s (your name) life, I _________________."
Example: "When I am running Susan's life, I keep her too busy to focus on what's important."

"What I need from ______________ (your name) is _____________________."
Example: "What I need from Susan is for her to have faith, to get help, to breathe."
