How can I become confident and pursue my dream career?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
I have always had a higher-than-average interest in flying – so much so I gained a Commercial Pilots License some 10 years ago – mainly through a lack of confidence
and socio-phobic issues at the time I never followed up using the license as a career even though I really enjoyed flying.
I haven’t flown for 7 years.
I have been considering renewing my qualifications and flying as a working pilot because I have enjoyed nothing else that I have done since I gave up flying.
I notice whenever I talk about flying my mood lifts and I feel enthusiasm and excitement.
When I have thoughts of revisiting it as a career and start organising in my mind the steps required to get back into it I feel trepidation, worry, questioning my ability, and the usual confidence issues and I start questioning the move and find reasons not to forge ahead – even though I KNOW I enjoy flying.
How can I overcome this lifelong battle with confidence and start enjoying flying again without all the hang-ups?
You have such strong positive associations with flying that I believe you should be able to resolve your fears if you find the right therapy.
I think you would be a good candidate for cognitive therapy.
I doubt if there is anything I could say in this format that could allow you to gain the confidence you need to follow through and get your pilot qualifications.
But if you see a counselor about this, I believe you can get the kind of one-on-one attention you need to set the specific steps and follow-up you need to walk you through this process. It sounds like you really want to do this, so all you need is a supportive structure to help you past your fears.
