(1) Fear: How can fear get in the way of taking initiative– what might scare us (i.e. fear of success– more is expected of us, fear of failing, fear of falling)? (2) Procrastination: Do you know what it means to procrastinate? When we procrastinate, we keep putting off for tomorrow what can be done today.
