Fight Your Fears
Many of us are neither here nor there. Some are in limbo. Some seem to be in purgatory [whatever that means]. Some are just totally lost. That commonality across those seemingly lost along the way are likely off-track because of fears. Some have the fear of the knowns. A lot more of us have that fear of the unknowns. Where do we start then ? Go and grab those known fears as a matter of priority. 
Start off with the known fears. Identify it. If it seems vague and hazy, crystallize and concretize it. And once you've 'known the known', face it head-on and eventually, that will shrink, trust me. And if that fear spans across a period of time, objectively craft a solution. An example will be a small-scale businessman more worried about payroll.
If that fear is triggered by a lack of information, go and scour for those missing pieces as you need to complete the picture. If overcoming that fear entails a lot of hard work over and over again, take a 'mental mapping', shaping your mindset that for you to achieve that success, you gotta train damn hard a 100 times a day across the next 1,000 days. 
Worst of worst, many end of us end up with that fear of failure itself. Rigid upbringing of children can end up internalizing damaging mindsets. Another root cause is perfectionism itself. While a lot of us tend to be perfectionists, we need to temper that with restraint, else we end up pushing ourselves at edges of the cliff.
Pivot anyone ? Where you get stalled, think pivoting, something that is just fundamental in our lives. It is akin to changing directions but you remain focused to the same vision and goals you have pre-set. There's a pitfall in pivoting though. You'll end up receiving tons and tons of unsolicited advice. All these will just simmer things up and cause you more undue pressure. Better be beware.
Muniba Mazari, a Pakistani activist whose body is literally 'caged' is one success story of fighting fears. Since she got into that accident in the most isolated mountains in Balochistan Province, she was literally crushed, including three vertebrae completely crushed. And that's besides her broken rib case, broken arms, shoulder blade and collarbone amongst others. But her success in overcoming all these even made her become the UN Ambassador for Women in Pakistan and ending up in the Forbes 30 under 30. Her feat should inspire us all that overcoming fears can lead you to even max-out your abilities, your goals, your dreams. ❗❗❗
