It seems to me that overcoming inertia is a matter of self cofidence and self belief and not being afraid of the possible outcomes of your actions.

The challenge is understanding the need to move forward eventually regardless of the difficulties you may be facing. The most troublesome area that I see people face is allowing the overwhelming situation to stop them completely and oftentimes permanently. The major criteria for dealing with this situation is recognizing the potential need to step back temporarily so you can rest your mind, gather your thoughts, determine your options, then choose a course of action. There is not a definitive timeframe for this self-reflective process. Nevertheless, so long as you are willing to undertake some action, even the action of stopping temporarily to evaluate your circumstances thoroughly before taking more proactive steps, you will build the momentum that will carry you forward to your final goal.
