Fear is the minds great mortal sin. And isn't it just at times when you have to risk something, that you Fear? Think about it! You've had a great idea but you don't tell a soul because you're afraid. They won't think it's great. You've had long time aspirations to change careers but you cower at the mere thought of getting out of your Comfort Zone and out from under the safety net you've created for yourself (your job, your security, your routine). You've always wanted to start a business but the thought of putting together a business plan, getting financing and the unknown quantity of the income you'll receive scares the hell out of you!How many opportunities have you allowed to slip by because you were frozen by Fear? Do you know more about the things you Fear than the things you desire? Is the Fear of failure your biggest Fear of all? Recognizing Fear! Not a single person has ever accomplished anything of significance without first feeling scared to death!You recognize your own tell tale signs of Fear. Might be a knot in your gut. Or a high state of anxiety. A flood of negative thoughts rush in and all the reasons NOT to do something hover over you like an ominous black cloud! The truth is, behind that cloud lay bright beautiful sunlight ready to nourish and grow your idea. Fear is a loaded gun squarely aimed to slay you and all your potential. You need to be on-guard every waking moment to deflect the invisible bullet. "Fear is the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind." H. P. LovecraftFear is the cancer of the human spirit. |
