William James (American psychologist and philosopher) said that our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is one thing that insures the successful outcome of our venture. Therefore we need to believe in ourselves, believe that we can make things happen. It's not always easy to nurture a deep trust in what you are about to undertake. The awareness of the problems you are going to face tries to scare you (It's going to be very difficult!). Self-doubt creeps in (Will I be able to do it?). Uncertainty about the wisdom of your decision worries you (Is it really worth it?). It all depends on how you "feel" about it. If the motivation is strong enough, you'll find the courage to pursue your goal. If, on the other hand, you prefer to tread on the old path, it's also okay. No decision is right or wrong. Whatever you believe is right for you, at a certain moment, it probably is. But trust, confidence, courage, "guts", definitely play an important role in the outcome of whatever you decide to do (or not to do).
