HOW TO WIN OVER YOUR FEARS

HOW TO WIN OVER YOUR FEARS

If you really want to do something

you will always find a way.

But if you don't want to do it,

you will find execuses.

The easiest way to combat fear is by not using excuses. Instead, you

need to look for positive approaches to accomplish your goal. If you

want to start a business, attend a meeting at the Better Business

Bureau. Read some national magazines like "Income Opportunities"

or "Spare Time." Start reading the business section of your

newspaper. Gather some ideas and do a little reading before actually

jumping into a business. Surely you can find some spare time to read.

Also, begin associating yourself with people who are in their own

business already. If you're afraid to go out and make new friends,

attend local business-related seminars in your community. Start

watching television shows that are related to business. You'll

eventually find people to associate with who know others and you'll be

the part of a new crowd - the motivating ones!

FEAR is always your enemy. Look at it this way: If you never try,

FEAR wins by 100%. However, if you do try, FEAR only has a chance

of winning by 50%. If you needed a place to live and only had $10 to

your name would you allow FEAR to win and make you homeless?

No, most of us would find a job or borrow the money to have a roof

over our heads! FEAR is the root of failure, depression and lifelong

problems. Are you going to let FEAR ruin your life?

FEAR also will cause you to lose out on many other things in life.

If you FEAR the boss at work is going to fire you _ it will naturally

be on your mind day in and day out. It will eventually wear you down

and you will begin making mistakes on the job. You will also get

depressed and build up resentments that may have never been there

in the first place.

Facing FEAR head on is the best way to combat it. If you think the

boss is going to fire you go up and ask him. It takes guts, but isn't it

better than putting yourself through many months of agonizing torture?

Are you full of so much FEAR to even ask him because you think it will

trigger him to say "yes" when he might not have been considering it at

all? Believe me asking a boss "if" they are thinking about firing you will

put you in no different position than you are now. In fact it will have the

opposite effect. The boss will more than likely respect you for your

candidness and ability to face FEAR head-on.

Is FEAR holding you back from a lot of things? Are you afraid to

confront people and tell them how you really feel? Do you smile in their

face and talk about them behind their back? What's so hard about

being truthful but using tact? Doesn't it get rid of FEAR and solve

many problems?

Complaining is also an act that emotionally drains you and goes

hand-in-hand with FEAR. In fact, FEAR is normally the root of any

complaint.

People don't want to admit their FEAR so they will complain to

release some tension. This is a crazy merry-go-round! Instead of

complaining, try to find ways to solve the problem.
