Overcoming Fear to Build SuccessOvercoming fear is an important part of every human’s make up. You can never be a complete person if you live in fear of anything or anybody and each of us should be aware that to have fears is perfectly normal and rational. The inability to overcome our fears is not helpful to fulfilling our true role in life. Let us start by defining the word fear: “It is apprehension (or worry) of something that hasn’t yet happened.” Maybe we should add: “And probably never will.” Because it is true that when we confront something that is causing panic one of two things usually happens: - It goes away – disappears into thin air. Or - The very act of confronting it produces a manageable situation. Either way we come out the other end as a winner and our fear disappears to be replaced by a feeling of control over our lives, our destiny. This is sometimes known as a winner’s attitude and it will take over your life and change it for the better as you learn to confront each fear and overcome it. When you start confronting things that frighten you your life will start changing for the better as you take control of one small thing after another. At this point you are actually showing signs of being a winner. One of the more common symptoms shows in the form of giving up on things too early. It may be that you are determined to start a website to earn an extra thousand dollars each month, but at the end of month one you haven’t even made a thousand cents so you decide this is never going to work for me and give up. If we look at this situation it is simply a reaction to the fear of not succeeding and you are not overcoming fear by walking away. What you have done is thrown away 30 days experience of making money online because that nasty little voice at the back of your mind is planting negative input. May we suggest that next time you face such a situation you take a deep breath and ask why you haven’t achieved a thousand dollars? You may just discover that you were doing 75% of what you need to do to achieve this goal absolutely right. For that achievement you deserve congratulations because to achieve 75% of your task is indication that you have mastered it and now it only requires fine tuning. Isn’t this incentive enough to prove you are winner and just need to stand back and see what you can improve in month two by confronting and overcoming fear? So we come back to the question: “Am I unique? Am I the only person that tries and doesn’t succeed? Am I the only person incapable of overcoming fear to build success?” The answer is no; everybody that succeeds goes through a period of upsets and plans not producing what they expect. Nobody is unique in facing setbacks. Where uniqueness comes into the equation is that some people accept that their plan requires fine tuning and carry on toward their goal. Others think they are incapable of succeeding and give up too early. There isn’t much difference between these two groups of people and there are some world famous examples of people that succeeded through dogged determination to overcome fear and prove a point. - The Wright brothers immediately come to mind; most of their peers thought they were stupid in their quest to build and operate a flying machine. The general consensus of opinion that surrounded them was something like: “If God intended man to fly He would have given him wings.” - Another example was Gillette who took seven long years to sell his first safety razor because the general consensus was that it was too effeminate to attract men. Look around the world today and count how many people still use a cut throat razor? - When oil companies first started drilling for oil in Britain’s very rough North Sea region no technology existed to get that oil ashore; this did not stop them drilling because they had the faith that if there was an opportunity to make money the technology would follow. All of these successful people had to overcome fear to build success; they suffered the same self doubt that we all suffer from time to time but the difference is they refused to give in to it in their quest to be a success. Only you know which of these two groups of people you belong to and if you belong to the negative group all you have to do is change the way that you think and you will change the results that life has to offer. Opportunity surrounds each of us and is waiting for you when you are ready to take advantage of it all you have to do is is put in place the simple steps to overcoming fear. - Fact: At any time there is US$15 Trillion in circulation in the world. - Fact: There are around 6 Billion people on planet Earth. - Fact: This equates to approximately US$2,500,000 per person – man, woman and child.
