Default Where to start

Hi,
I'm new to the forum.
This is really hard for me to write, because I am having lots of negative thoughts and self doubt. I am honestly having a very hard time even convincing myself to post this message, because i keep telling myself that i will fail.

It is time for me to begin on my path of personal development. I've read allot of good advice here on Steve's website and I've even bought a book on NLP(I've been to afraid to even crack it), but i don't know where to start. I've managed to talk myself out of every starting point that i've decided on so far. I manage to convince myself that it's too hard, that i don't have the motivation, and that if I fail at this I'm stuck right here forever.
I know i have lots of limiting beliefs and negative thoughts to deal with and I have seen a couple methods for changing these, but I'm having trouble finding a starting point. Do I start by trying to identify my limiting beliefs and negative thoughts? How do I do this? What if my negative thoughts are so second nature that i don't even recognize them?
I feel like some of the advice that Steve gives might be too hard for me.
Can anyone give any advice? Where do I start?

Joe
