This quote by motivational speaker Les Brown says it all. The reason we are not living our dreams, is because we are living our fears. Fears hold us back from accomplishing our dreams, so we must reduce our fears, so that we can live more of our dreams. We reduce our fears by:
- Facing them head on and doing the thing we fear the most.
- Finding a workaround solution.
- Learning new competencies and skills to be more confident that we can do whatever we put our mind to.
- Believing in our ability to figure things out even if we don’t know how right now.
- Believing everything happens for a reason, even if the reason is not apparent at the time.
- Setting goals and taking action on them, then monitoring our results and improving upon them.
- Acknowledging there will be difficulties and difficult times in your life and that is okay.
- See obstacles as challenges you will gladly overcome.
- Loving yourself no matter what happens.
- Focusing on feeling grateful and thankful for everything you have right now in your life.
- Reflecting on the past, to learn from it but not dwell on it and not wanting it to change but believing you did the best you could do at the time.
- Living for now, in the moment, as you never know when your last breath will be
- Planning for the future in a practical way by sitting down and writing out a one year, two year, and/or five year plan, and monthly plan, daily plan, with solutions on how to make those plans come to fruition and working those plans every day by taking action on them.
- Giving up things which make you feel bad, sad, uneasy, or unhappy.
- Constantly taking action to achieve goals, however big or small, because that builds momentum and drive to move forward in your life and puts those fears and worries out of your mind.
- Schedule in time for fun and self-dating and being at one with your soul, and make it happen.
I hope that helps you? Please let know what think and if you have any more you would like to add?
Until next time, stay positive

Published Author of BREAK THROUGH THE BARRIERS OF REDUNDANCY TO GET BACK INTO WORK - AN A-Z 'HOW TO' GUIDE and How To Get Started With Twitter For Absolute Beginners, A Step-By-Step Guide and Asexual Perspectives 47 Asexual Stories: Love, Life and Sex, ACElebration of Asexual Diversity.
In a nutshell, my Break Through The Barriers Of Redundancy book is a complete A-Z system for getting back into work, and a comprehensive guide about how you can recover from the devastating effects of redundancy to live the life of your dreams. Although this book is predominantly aimed at redundant workers, the content will prove equally useful to jobseekers or anyone looking to change careers for whatever reason.
This book provides eighty benefits and covers twenty-six aspects of redundancy. It’s a system because each of the chapters is broken down into ‘5 components of redundancy’. You need to master all components in order to give you the best chance of success at getting back into work. Because this book takes a holistic view of redundancy, one of the key elements to master first of all is wellbeing skills, before progressing through exploring what options are available to you and later, learning the practical job skills. This book is different because it does not just focus on one element of redundancy, but on the many barriers you need to conquer if you are to successfully get back into work, I show you how to deal with the inner trauma and turmoil of being made redundant (health and wellbeing skills), before focusing on the practical elements such as job skills, and deciding on your future path.
I have worked in management roles for seven years. Part of my management duties entailed interviewing, recruiting, training and coaching staff and I took part in every aspect of the recruitment process from placing the advert to completing staff inductions and training. I have also experienced the other side of the recruitment process, when I was applying for work and being interviewed for jobs whilst redundant. I have been made redundant twice and each time managed to successfully work my way back up the career ladder. It is from experience that I have gained insight into both points of view and I am able to help others.
This book is the first Quirky Book that I published and it's under my own imprint of Quirky Books. It's unique and groundbreaking because it combines two genres, an A-Z Guide with a How To book. Each of its A-Z chapters is about an element of redundancy, and within each chapter it explains how to do things related to that element to break though your barriers of redundancy and beat your redundancy blues. That’s what makes it a quirky book.
