Hey there, YouTube. Myron golden here. And I want to share with you what is really stopping you. Have you ever wondered about that? I think what's stopping you? Number one, thinking too much about what you think other people think about. I've got good news for you. They're not. Other people aren't thinking about you. They got their own stuff, their own kids, their own bills, own troubles. Nobody's really spending that much time thinking about you. Stop worrying about what you think other people think about you. Number two, worrying about what you don't know. And you think that because you don't know it, you can't learn it and because you don't know it, you can't do it. Stop thinking about the stuff you don't know and take action on the stuff you do know. People say, I don't understand the Bible. Guess what? It's not the parts from the Bible you don't understand. You got a problem. Number three, thinking that you're afraid when you actually have anxiety. Fear is caution over a real and present danger. Anxiety is caution over a future imagined danger. Stop imagining danger in the future and take action now.
