Conquer Your Fear!

What is the number one obstacle to your success? You know it now. It is your fear.

Hard to believe? Maybe not. How frequent you have an idea and you do not have the courage to act on it? Not having courage means fear. I am not saying you have no guts. Fear is different from not having guts. It is difficult to explain but you must feel it yourself. Maybe, I am not too good with words. One of the common symptoms of fear is procrastination and hesitation. You thought you wanted to act on some plan and it sits there for months and never ever got done. Some many times that you were about to get started and then just think that you will do it tomorrow or next time. That, is the first symptom of fear.

Another symptom is giving up too easily or finding excuses to support the notion that it will not work. You only give it one and only one try and then to confirm that it will not work. Worst, your that try was not even half-hearted. It was touch-and-go kind of try. There was no commitment and conviction. It was simply meant to confirm the negative, that's all. Yes, I have seen it all. I have done that too many times. Hey, does that sound familiar? If so, then, you better watch out. You have the perfect formula for failure if you don't change that.

Learn to conquer these negative attitudes or habits. These are Self Limiting Beliefs that ought to get rid off immediately. Do some soul searching and surface them. You must surface them so that you can face them. Counter each of the excuses with a postive reason and habit. Put faith in yourself and move on.

Success is only another 3 feet below. Why are you stopping digging now?

Trying once is not trying. Trying twice is onlythe touching the surface. Trying 10 more times and each time come back with an improved strategy and you will really learn something even if you have gotten what you want.

Have more faith in yourself and keep the hope alive!
