Whenever we plan / dream something new there will always be two things consciously or unconsciously running in the mind.

1) Go ahead.
2) Are you mad? No. Don’t do it.

Many a times we give more privilege to the negative voice than the positive ones. Apart from the privilege we also reason out on why it is not advisable to take on the plan. Than we convince ourselves to stop thinking on the plan in future and term it as not advisable for me / our family waste of time etc. and that too proudly.

Main reason we tend to avoid the positive voice is our fear of failure. Best thing to overcome it is by actually putting the plan into action. Go and start working on the plan right away. List down the pros and cons. Do the in-depth research on the plan. Look for the people who have worked on any similar ideas and their success stories in the market. Talk to the expert and get motivated. In short take a first step followed by more steps regularly.

Remember that we may face failure in the first few attempts. During this period we have to stay positive and keep telling ourselves repeatedly “Practice makes man perfect.” Let us don’t pressurize ourselves anytime if we fail. Failure is always the path to success. Don’t ever get disheartened by the failure Keep saying as many times as required “Practice!” and believe in yourself.

At regular intervals review the plan. See how much progress is achieved and what else needs to be done. Take the small break whenever you feel your mind is getting away from the plan. Find and look at the positive things happening around you and return back with more energy towards the plan.

By all means stay focused. Listen carefully to the voices who are taking you towards the plan goal. Ignore the ones that are negative. Recollect all your past success and gets yourself positive towards your goal. Put smile on your face and say aloud “Let me put my plan in action now. And now is the best time ever.” If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
