Mr. Rajan Singh, When we keep on waiting for things to happen, this is neither natural nor necessary, but more out of trepidation, fear, apprehension, or simply the fear of the unknown. It requires the proverbial "leap of faith" or "taking the plunge" to test the waters, something akin to an inevitable "baptism by fire".   More often than not, psychological barriers are at play. It is often the first step which is the most difficult. Instead of looking outwards, strive to look inwards for motivating you to take that crucial first step.   Some examples of taking a "leap of faith" or "finding your true calling in life":   ✅ Making the transition from a salaried individual to an entrepreneur   ✅ Saying "no" to professional relationships which no longer add value and moving on   ✅ Giving wings to your hobbies and interests to see if they can generate a steady flow of income   ✅ Beginning to network with professionals who share your principles or work ethics, and who can contribute to your professional growth   Do not trust your fears, as they are unaware about your strengths and true potential. Instead, listen to your gut feeling and intuition.   The only aspect which can stifle our personal and professional growth are our own self-limiting beliefs. As long as we have a sense of conviction in pursuing our ambitions, an unwavering sense of commitment, self-confidence in our abilities, we can take the plunge in a calculated manner, and move up the ladder of life. An easy and simple approach to ensure that you do not give up on your goals is to break your overall goal into several smaller sub-goals. By adopting this approach, you are indirectly motivating yourself to remain consistent, disciplined and staying the course.   For instance, if you want to go from 0 to 50, break down the target into smaller and achievable targets as follows:   💎 0 to 10 💎 10 to 20 💎 20 to 30 💎 30 to 50 (by this time, you have overcome the initial self-doubt and resistance, and can go for the final frontier, by pushing yourself just a bit harder, hence the extra 10 yards)
