Dare you to move

Have you ever been at a place in your life where you know that you are in a position to make big changes? That's where I am right now. My career pretty much came off the tracks last June, when I was hit by the big resource action, aka layoff. In a lot of ways being laid off was a relief because it had become pretty clear to me that electrical engineering is not my passion. In fact, I don't like it much at all! So now I am in a perfect position to find something I truly *want* to do. But I am finding myself completely paralyzed. Why is change so scary? Why does starting something new seem so daunting? And how to I move past those fears?

Why am I so afraid to fail?

I know I need to just go for it. I dare myself to move.
