Marie, this hit so close to home for me! I'm looking to make drastic changes to my life in order to free myself from a job that is truly draining but around every cornerI feel fear. There is that sense that I'm not good enough. That what I have to offer this world isn't worthy. But what I've come to realize is in order for me to grow I sometimes need to LEAN into the FEAR. Because it is a there that I've experienced the biggest growth! Thank you for this Marie!

My personal "Why": I want to love my everyday life. Working towards my goals, actively creating my life makes me love each of my days here on earth.

Don't worry about others - don't compare your progress with that of others.
No matter how successful you are, there will be someone else who, to you,
looks like she's got it made - who looks like she's getting where you want
to go faster and easier than you are. Maybe she is. Maybe she isn't. Who
cares? Focus on your own achievements. Work to develop your skills and
talents to their full potential. Compete with yourself - your short-term
goals should be based on today's accomplishments. If you have reached
Point A today, make Point B your next objective - improve yourself and
don't worry about the other guy.

I have been in Administration for the past 10 years.
This January I started back at school for Welding, and it has been terrifying but so humbling too. However I've been struggling and questioning myself and my choice
This message has been exactly what I've needed - Thank You!

Corporate healthcare to teaching at 40...you got this girl! It's the best leap of faith you will take. :) Good luck!

This video is very inspiring, and even the comments! I am also undergoing a career change. Fear is always there when go outside our comfort zone. But one of my motivations is that whatever happens, I know that in the future I'll be happier knowing that I have tried. ♡

Great one Marie!

Simple things but it is sometimes difficult to apply them.

Do what is hard and your life will be simple or do what is simple and your life will be hard.

At the end, we are all going to die, so why not trying to accomplish our dreams and to leave the crowd.

You win or you learn. Time will pass anyways...

I am a product manager, negotiation expert, and first-generation immigrant. I want to teach engineers and international professionals to make career changes and get control of their life. I have put off this idea for a very long time because of fear of failure. Now. I decided to change my expectations, I don't have to be super successful. As long as I can be consistent and impact at least one person's life. I am happy! I am glad I discovered this video today! I am inspired!

@marieforleo and the team
This is such an important topic and I love that you have tackled this issue today.
Fear of Failure is something that holds all of us back but it's important to tackle this and redefine what failure really is. Failure is just another way of learning.
Failure should not be something we tie to our self worth or value.
Emotional connection to why you are doing what you are doing is so important, as it will push you past every obstacle.
Enable yourself with the right mindset, the right people and the right environment!

for me the fear is money. My dream is to work partime but i worry that the country i want to move to wont have the opportunities and if they did, doing it alone and being my own boss scares me.

[afirebaugh]

Love this!! I'm in the middle of a career change and I've been afraid of finding my next steps because I've had several bad experiences with toxic work environments and just jobs that weren't the right fit for me. Just listening to how you describe taking on the fears is really helpful!

I made that big career leap about 6 months ago but sometimes I still struggle with self-doubt. I want to spend less time being afraid that I made the wrong choice, and more time committing to growing where I am now.

I actually recently told my husband (who is my motivator!) that he opened my eyes that I can still study. So this video is exactly at the right time for me. I just 'found out' that it's still possible to go for a different career or expand my career by going back to school. I have been working for 10 years now, and it finally hit me. I can make the choice! Thank you for your video, to give me that extra push in the right direction :)

I want to tell you that are amazing Marie, i am from Mozambican asnd working in Zimabe as a SAP Consultant, but its something that i dont enjoy doing. I always dreamed of oppeneing my own Consulting Agency , but never had strenght or someone to motivate me but after seeing this video you gave me all the reasons to belive in myself... im now following my dream. Thanks to you

This spoke to me! Took me awhile to change my career because of the same exact fears this person has. At age 35 I decided to become a nurse. I’m currently in my second year of taking prerequisites and preparing to take the HESI to get into the nursing program for next year. I was scared of taking chem but I’m getting an A. Get out of your comfort zone and just do it. Forget your fears and and go for it and remember your “whys”. Also, this a something I don’t share with everyone, just my tight circle of friends only because I know they support me. I find that other people can sway you from achieving your dreams.

I’m about to make a career change n I am terrified thank u for your video

[cutelilshooorty]

I'm a woman in tech and one of my dreams is to develop my own app. As a single mom what motivated me in college was my son but now that i think about it I think I will be using my mom for motivation. I really want to buy her dream house. she deserves it for supporting me so much. .but again I keep sabotaging opportunities. why do we do this?!!! 😧 augh

[loandrasmith]

My biggest dream Marie, is to visit (and eventually immigrate) the big US. I am a South African woman with a longing for life outside of my own closed-off country. I have always had this dream. All the time I will be part of a moment where someone else will go abroad; may it be for holiday, or business or even starting a new life across the ocean and I will think: "What about me? When will I have this opportunity? Will it EVER become my reality? Do I dream silly and unimportant dreams for it to ever realize? What did they do; who do they know for them to have MY dream become part of their life...? etc. I might sound very selfish, but I never mean it in this light. Maybe my dream might become true, or never become true, but I will always dream to have the blue, red and white blowing through my hair! TY for this amazing video, it inspires me to not give up just yet.

Love this video topic Marie! I made a career change a few years ago from working in corporate communications and marketing to running my own business in the wellness industry as a Mindset Coach & Kinesiologist... I had to go back to school and take it one step at a time. But the journey has been worth it because I am now doing something I genuinely love. I had to ask myself, if I got to my deathbed and I DIDN'T pursue my dream, would I be ok with it? The answer was no, so I made sure to do whatever it takes to bring my dream to life.
