Have you ever wanted to do something, got excited, stood up all pumped and ready to go ahead and do it, but you froze at the last minute, where you stood in your place bringing up all the excuses why you cannot?

What stopped you? In one word – Fear.

What a horrible, life stalling four-letter word. We all feel it from time to time, and we hate it with a passion. And the terrible thing is, when you feel scared or fearful you do not feel confident, you do not feel you’re up to the ‘challenge’, you feel weak, not good enough.

“What you fear will appear!” I read this somewhere. What powerful words. Read it again. And how about this one:

F – False
E – Evidence
A – Appearing
R – Real

If I remember right, we were born with two fears – fear of falling and fear of noise. The rest we made up as we progressed through life.

So what do you do: do not hesitate, do not focus on the fear. Instead focus on the great outcome that you want and go ahead immediately and do what it is you wanted to do.

Walk through that fear that you created in your own mind with your own thoughts. More often than not, you created that fear that doesn’t even exist.

By the way – you can work through some of your fears within you by learning more about limiting beliefs; those beliefs that stand in your way, such as: I am not good enough to become a manager, I am scared to be rejected by her/him, I cannot make that presentation – they’ll laugh at me, and so on.
