What's holding you back?

For many years I let fear hold me back from really trying to achieve certain things. Fear of failing, fear of appearances, sometimes even fear of succeeding. Although I continue to work through certain obstacles, simply being aware of this has been incredibly empowering. Nicky Hayden passed away today, he was 35 years young. Nicky was America's best professional motorcycle racer since Kenny Roberts, winning the coveted MotoGp in 2006. He was involved in an accident while riding a bicycle. In 2013 Michael Schumacher suffered a serious brain injury, that he is still recovering from, while skiing. He raced Formula 1 cars for nearly twenty years winning seven championships. We all need to identify and pursue our passions and not let things like fear get in the way.
