I think we all struggle with wanting to stick with what we are used to, even if it isn't serving us any longer. <br /><br />Just know that you are capable of accomplishing all that you want to accomplish. Take it one day at a time, one minute at a time, one courageous step at a time. <br /><br />Good luck with your new job.<br />Kizzyhttp://www.kizzypreston.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174338782887817707.post-8462572326454187772012-11-20T12:42:31.470-08:002012-11-20T12:42:31.470-08:00It was awesome to come across this piece. I have ...It was awesome to come across this piece. I have been afraid of success for so long. As a matter of fact, I am shaking in nervousness, as I prepare to start training at a new job that could change my life in so many ways. I have been at my current job for over 9 years and hit a wall about 6 years into the job. After 7 years, I decided to go back to school and actually get certified as a paralegal, which is what I do. After having gotten my certification, from NYU, mind you, I still stuck by, for fear of leaving my comfort zone. After having gotten a divorce and many bills piling up, I finally got the courage to start applying for better paying jobs. <br /><br />The problem is that even when I see that I am in my path to a better future and a more independent lifestyle, the fear of failure keeps me from seeing the possibilities. <br /><br />Tomorrow, I start training at a big corporate law-firm and hope I do well enough to land that position I applied for.
