Have you ever felt like you were right there — about to take the leap into something you’ve wanted for years — and then suddenly, you froze?

You tell yourself it’s “not the right time,” or “maybe next year,” and you slip back into your comfort zone.

That invisible wall you just hit? Bob Proctor calls it the terror barrier.

And until we learn to break through it, we stay planted right where we're at.

This week, I want to share three key ideas from Bob that can help you move past fear and into the life you really want.

Recognize The Battle Inside

Every single day, we face our own internal chatter — the thoughts looping in our head that tell us why something won’t work.

Psychologists say 80% of our daily thoughts are negative.

It’s not the external world that stops us most of the time — it’s the internal voice that convinces us to stay safe, even when safe means unfulfilled.

Understand Your Paradigm

Your paradigm is your mental operating system built from years of habits, beliefs, and experiences.

It decides what you believe you can achieve, how far you’re willing to go, and whether you’ll take action or retreat.

You can have the skills, the education, and the opportunity, but if your paradigm says “stay put,” fear will win every time.

Shift the paradigm, and your results change often faster than you think.

Step Through The Fear

Fear shouldn't be a stop sign. It’s a signal you’re moving into new territory.

Bob says if your goals don’t scare and excite you at the same time, they’re not big enough.

As Joseph Campbell put it, “The cave we fear to enter holds the treasure that we seek.”

Your best life is in the very cave you fear. The only way to find it is to enter.

Here’s my challenge to you this week:

Think about one thing you’ve been putting off because of fear.

Take one small action toward it today before your internal chatter talks you out of it again.
