Question Struck In Black Hole

So many times in life we encounter a phase where we know what we want, and are well aware that we can achieve it; but simply just cant' move. Like a paralyzed man wanting to dance, but just cant move! Taking that first step is just so difficult, that I am now waiting for almost a miracle to push me up in that higher energy level. I know that I can win but I just can't start. It is hurting so much to sit and watch your own house burning, and my self-sitting inside just helplessly watching it turn into ashes. My energies get so much utilized in daily maintenance living that I just cant break the ice. I loved STEVE'S blog on how to get of the black hole. And I would now try this remedy though it scares me to join people where I m the smallest and weakest. Does any body else have any antidote to my problem?

We have exactly the same problem

I have been planning on starting my own business for a couple of years now and still nothing has happened. I am also struggling with day-to-day expenses to support my family for almost 6 years now. Debts just keeps on adding up.

Here's my solution to my own problem, and hopefully be of help to you too, which i believe i need to do to be able to move forward:
  1. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - This is a must, for it helps eliminate FEARS and build SELF CONFIDENCE.
  2. Set a GOAL to increase current income. Write it down and make a lists of sources of extra income then take ACTION (this will free me from worrying about everyday expenses and helps me focus more on what i really WANT).
  3. ASSOCIATE with SUCCESSFUL and ENERGETIC people. Joining Toast Masters is a good starting point. The Collective Positive Energy will give us the PUSH that we've been waiting for.
  4. Apply "The Power of NOW".
... Right now, these are all that i can think of. Let's try it together and see what happens, shall we?

Smile One Step at a Time

Dear friends,

Many times we think we feel paralyzed when we are actually overwhelmed. We've gotten to a place where it feels "there's so much to do, I'll never dig out of this hole." I've been there. Many times. What I have found to help, is remembering Og Mandino's "I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking." And, "In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult." I encourage you to do one thing today, just one thing, that will propel you forward.

You can read about my black hole and how I got out in my post, Wake up and Create the Life You Want.

Hope this helps. Let me know - -I'd love to hear from you and/or discuss it further.
