How do I overcome fear of failure or success

Post by Loveslife » Sat May 28, 2011 6:58 pm

I'm 52 years old and was just hired per diem to work as an overhead operator in my local hospital. I have bigger dreams however, and want to pursue a radiology career.
I'm afraid to take the next step.
What is holding me back and how do I force myself to take the next step...
Please help.

PS
I know the next step would be finding a school, enrolling and achieving my goals.
I'm just frozen at the next step of finding a school.

I copied this from another thread....This will help me.

The titles alone made me exhale with a sigh of relief.
I have taken action tonight by looking up two schools and writing down their phone numbers.
I will call on Tuesday, after the holiday, and ask my questions.


Recognize Resistance:
FEAR OF CHANGE - Change is a part of life.
"THAT;S THE WAY I AM "- I have new skills.
PROCRASTINATION - What can I do today!
"ANALYSIS - PARALYSIS" - Plan for the positive.
"LET'S THINK ABOUT IT - FOREVER!!!- Action today.
VICTIM - THINKING- I am now responsible.
What is the gain? Is it worth the price?
