Faizal, Excellent article. This is inspiring. I have a lot of knowledge of computers and I recently have been laid off. I take it as a blessing though. I always wanted to start my own business and after reading this I feel like I need to. My knowledge can bring me success rather than bringing the company lots of money. Thank you so much for this. I will read more.

Hey Fereen,

Faizal-Thanks for the great article. I totally agree that there is no better way to learn than hands on training. I am pursuing a career in accounting and to be honest with you I learned more accounting working in the field than in that 2yrs of school. It’s so much easier to understand things when you are actually doing it.

Sonia,

Thank you for visiting BeTrulyHappy.com.

I completely agree with your comment. Don’t let anyone keep your from taking action. In their minds they are scared or they think it’s impossible but when your desire is strong enough, you tend to ignore their thoughts and focus on your own instead.

People always speak from their own experiences and their own fears. If you want to be like them, then listen. But if you want to be bigger and better, then take action regardless of what anyone says.

Positively Present,

Wow, it was very well timed!

Fear holds us all back time to time. Try focusing on what your intention is rather than the results. That’s how I overcome my fears.

Michelle,

I’m sure you can change that. If you believe it, you can achieve it! You’re on the right track by finding motivation that outweighs your fears.

Great post Faizal.

I’d also like to say to not let anyone crush your dreams or make fun of you for taking action. Some people can be scared to do things themselves and so make you feel silly or worthless for trying to achieve your goals. It is for no other reason than their own fear so don’t let them affect you.

This post was well-timed for me. Just yesterday I was talking about how I don’t take action because, deep down, I am afraid. What a wonderful post for me to read to feel motivated and to address the idea that my fear is holding me back!
