Do you dream of more?

Growing up, did someone else have a dream for you that wasn’t yours? College, career, family?

Do you have people you can lean on when times are tough?

Do you have big dreams but feel like something’s blocking you?

Are you waiting for motivation to overtake you so you can make your dreams come true, but it’s not coming?

Do you do things that are the opposite of what you want?

Do you ever feel like life is weighing you down?

Or maybe the pressures feel like a pair of Spanx two sizes too small?

How do you keep going when you don’t feel like you can take another step?

Does time seem like it’s flying by, and you’ve got nothing to show for it?

Are you doing stuff that matters to you and will make an impact?

Or are you filling your days with stuff that doesn’t?

Do you have a dream or want to live a life of significance? Me too!

Do you want to fulfill your God-given purpose and long to hear, “well done my good and faithful servant,” but at this rate, you’re afraid you’ll miss the boat? I’ve been there!

Are you stuck at the starting gate, or maybe you stepped out and froze with fear? I hear ya!

Are you living out your dreams?

Are you living life as your best self?

Where do you fall short? Where do you need to grow?

What are you afraid of? Like at your core?

Do you fear looking dumb? Or maybe looking weak?

Are you afraid of conflict?

Is failure the worst thing that could happen to you?

Do you need things safe and secure before you can make a decision and move forward?

Have you ever been going along and felt your chest tighten or your gut tied in knots and wasn’t sure why?

Do you feel like there’s an invisible wall holding you back from what God’s called you to do?

What is fear really trying to tell you?

What is fear?

How does fear operate?

How does fear show up for you?

Do you have a dream in your heart, but when you step out, you get scared and retreat?

How big is your comfort zone?

Are you afraid to step out of your comfort zone because of the disaster the last time you tried?

Do you know what you’re afraid of but aren’t sure how to move forward?

Is your fear living your life for you while you sit in the backseat of life?

Do you feel alone in this journey to live your dreams and overcome fear?

Are you trying to live a life of purpose, but fear stops you?

What did you do when you backed off from doing that scary thing you knew you needed to do? Do you keep moving forward, do something easier or hide in a corner?

How do you feel about yourself? Ashamed or like a loser?

What do you say to yourself? Call yourself names or encourage yourself?

Have you ever tried to do something new but found yourself returning to what you know?

Do you work on being consistent, yet you can only say you’re consistent at being inconsistent?

What’s stopping you?

What do you do when you’re stuck in an anxiety loop?

Do you hide, crawl in a corner, go into flight or fight?

Is anxiety holding you back from your dreams or stepping out and living a courageous life?

Do you have a plan for when the anxiety comes and rears its ugly head?

Do you have anxiety on speed dial?

Have you ever felt like you're on a one-loop roller coaster of fear?

Do the "what if's" have you trapped in the worry spin-cycle?

What do you do when pursuing your purpose and the going gets tough?

Do you crawl into the corner in the fetal position?

Do you get frantic or panic?

Do you lash out in stress or anger?

I want you to think about your dreams and goals right now.

Do you struggle with perfectionism, which keeps you from putting yourself out there?

Are you afraid to step out because you don’t have the entire plan figured out yet? If you don’t, something could go wrong, right?!

Let me ask you; are you still in research mode, and it’s been 6 or 12 months? Or you’ve been saying you’re going to do this for three years and haven’t started yet?
