If You’re Still Afraid of Driving, You Might Be a Liar

By now you’ve probably read quite a bit about the fear of driving. You know about the program and you’ve heard the success stories from people it’s helped and the professionals that use it with their own clients. If you haven’t yet started the program, one of the most common reasons is because you’re a liar.

Hold on a second…I didn’t mean you’re lying to me, that’s excusable, it’s worse than that. You’re lying to yourself.

Maybe you tell yourself that it’s not really that big a deal to you to be afraid of driving. Maybe you “don’t mind” that your husband has to drive you places. You might even say that as long as you can keep your fear relatively well hidden, it’s not a major concern. That you’ve accepted your driving anxiety.

Who are you kidding? Not yourself.

Under all that rationalization and horse crap you try to sell yourself is the simple, undeniable truth, you’re held back and controlled by your fear of driving and not doing anything about it.

Why would someone do that? Why would they lie about their feelings to themselves and make it seem smaller than it actually is? Why not just commit to changing it?

Fear. Fear of failure. Fear of admitting how far you’ve let it come and what a grip it has on you. Fear of opening your eyes to how much of your life you’ve handed over to it. Fear the program won’t work and then where do you turn? Fear of losing hope. Fear of changing what’s become comfortable.

I understand all that. I honestly do. But that doesn’t mean its ok. You have to admit how much this bothers you, at least to yourself. You have to look at how your driving anxiety is affecting you, your family, children, work, and life. It’ll hurt, but you need that motivation and honesty to get the courage to commit to changing. Once you get the program, I can help, and it can be easier than you think, but the real courage comes before we even know one another. It comes when you’re on my site or reading this email and you’re considering challenging that fear, no matter how scary it feels or what you have to put on the line.

You know what you want, don’t be afraid to admit it. It’s NOT ok to be scared all the time. It’s NOT ok to surrender your independence. It’s NOT ok t put your head on your pillow at night knowing you’re your fear made the decisions that day, not you. Every day you put it off is another day gone forever you won’t get back and can’t rewind. Take action to get what you want, face whatever feeling you have to and step up to your fear knowing you’re going to do something about it. That it’s time.

You have the opportunity now to achieve your heart's desire, to live a better life. With the information and solution in front of you, why not admit what you really want? Why not stop lying to yourself. Isn't it time?

I'll leave you with a quote from the German thinker Goethe:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
