How often have you heard someone say they didn&#8217;t want to try something because they were afraid they wouldn&#8217;t be any good at it?<\/p>\n<p>This fear of failure is one of the mind&#8217;s most limiting vicious cycles. The irony is that if you refuse to do something because you&#8217;re afraid you&#8217;ll fail, you&#8217;ve already failed. You&#8217;ve failed to get started, you&#8217;ve failed to try, and you&#8217;ve failed to give yourself even a chance for success.<\/p>\n<p>If that makes no sense to you \u2014 if you find yourself thinking that you can&#8217;t fail by playing it safe \u2014 then you&#8217;ve already let your brain short-circuit true logic.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, people who are looking for sovereignty often fail to take any steps to become personally free from bureaucracy because they figure it&#8217;s no use, or that they can&#8217;t reach their goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Why not? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s to stop you from being as free as the blue jay who thinks he&#8217;s a rooster, squawking at the top of his little lungs outside our bedroom window every morning at daybreak?<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwlworldwide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/blue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2141\" style=\"margin: 4px 12px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"blue\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lwlworldwide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/blue.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"141\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lwlworldwide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/blue.jpg 419w, https:\/\/lwlworldwide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/blue-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 141px) 100vw, 141px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our <strong>freedom jay<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t care what anybody thinks.
