As crazy as it might sound, when you have an amazing opportunity to do something great, something beautiful, something that will change your life completely, it will transform it and probably make it 1 000 times better, you freeze. You get scared.
I know some of you would say "no way", that you would love to have that great, amazing opportunity that I am talking about, and that you would not only gladly take it, but you would grab on to it and do everything you can to not let it slip.
But, you do. Sometimes you let it go just because it is so new, and it gives you the perspective of something so great that it scares you. It freezes you.
Taking something so big, that would bring you such an amazing transformation means to let go of what you have now and grab onto that.
Picture this: if you have a rough rope in your hands, and you're holding onto it with both hands, and someone is giving you a smooth rope, one who might even come with a chair to rest from time to time, for you to grab that smooth, wonderful rope, means that you have to let go of the rough rope you already have in your hands. You have to trust to let that go, to be able to put your hand on the other rope. When your hands are filled with something, you can't put something else on top, because that extra thing will fall, cause you can't hold it since your hands are already filled with something else.
And that moment is what I am talking about. That moment when you have to let go of what you've known for so long so you can grab onto something new, that is promising to be so much more amazing. And that my friends, is scary.
Why? Because no matter how unsatisfied you are with where you're at, and no matter how well you know deep inside that you are amazing, and you can do amazing things, and your purpose here is far greater than what you're doing now, the place you are in is knows, and it is comfortable, and it brings you as much peace because you know it, as it makes you unsettled because you can do much more.
So, this is why Too Much Good can scare you. Because what you have know is familiar, and you know you're fine. But grabbing onto this new thing means letting go of this familiar state and trusting that it will eventually the new thing will prove to be way better. And you freeze.
You fight for the new thing, and fight, and fight, and somewhere along the way you start having all kind of thought, and overthink everything. You start thinking what if you let go of this and the new thing will be worst? What if it won't work? You will lose what you have now, and where will you be?
Your brain is designed to keep you away from danger. And the unknown is danger. Because you don't know what lies there.
But what if it's wonderful? What if that step was all you had to do to make it even greater? What if this will change your life for the better to such degree that your heart will cry of happiness? What if everything will work out so miraculously that it will leave you without words? What if it will be magical? What if it will be everything you dreamt of, or more?
What if? .... Wouldn't that be amazing?
You are scared, and that is so normal. So normal. No matter what others might tell you, it is normal to be scared. But decide to do it anyway. Do it scared, do it shaking, but do it anyway ❤️
