" Fear is the foundation of all human limitations" -- Benny the Jet
That's a very bold assertion .. but think on it.
Many things stop you reaching your potential but underneath all of them lies a fear of "what will happen if ..."
If I asked you to start a search right now with the goal to bring back
a box full of fear, you would look forever. Fear doesn't exist out
there ... its something that you do to yourself by thinking fearful
thoughts.
So fear is an internal process and we support this by some amazingly
clever processes which support us in avoiding dealing with change or
action.
I believe that action is required for positive change.
- I'll fail
- I'll look stupid.
- Every one will laugh
- I'll loose everything.
- I won't be able to live with myself.
Thoughts like this are a betrayal of your self and your abilities.
Here are a number of common life challenges that you may have experienced or may be facing that involve fear.
- Leaving the comfort zone of established patterns of behavior. (Personal development.)
- Leaving the comfort of being an employee.
- Death of a child, spouse or parent.
- Leaving the comfort of your peer group. Personal change.
- Professional change and success.
- Being on the bread line financially.
- Building a business from scratch.
- Speaking in public to hundreds of people.
- Having a net worth over $1,000,000
- Long term relationship breakup.
- Starting a family.
- 180 degree change in life direction.
- Overcoming personal illness and hardship.
- Leadership and responsibility.
If you have to guarantee that everything will be a success, before you
take a risk, before you step off first base, you will never take that
first step ... because the future is promised to no one.
We all need to become aware of the mechanics that drive our lives. The
concept and practical application of this awareness allows us each to
understand ourselves and the people and events around us.
This sounds very philosophical ... but it isn't.
Your life's journey begins with the next step. make it NOW!!
