Fear Cannot Stop You If You Don't Let It!
In life it sure seems like the ugly fear thing really has
its place and tries hard to slow us down or stop us. But it only has power over
our decisions if we allow the fear to turn into a power that starts to control
the way we think and what we do.
In Denis Waitley's book Seeds of Greatness he shares
from a study done by The University of Michigan about fear. The study shows
that 60% of our fears are unwarranted, 20% have already happened, 10% are so
petty that they don't really effect us. Of the remaining 10%, only 4-5% are
real and justifiable and even half of those are things that we cannot control,
so only 2% are relevant. I believe this information can offer a perspective
that will help each of us push through our fears to accomplish the great and
wonderful things that we hold in our hearts.
Fear can be the thief of your goals in life if you let it.
More people lose their drive, sense of urgency, and positive feeling for life
because of fear than anything else. Moving forward, upward, and onward does not
mean that you have no fear but rather that your pursuits are more important to
you than whatever fear you are feeling at the time.
I believe that Purpose, Discipline and Initiative
will make all of the difference in how you handle fears in life. Your purpose
will give you a direction to travel, and help you clear distractions and stay
focused on the most important parts in your life. Discipline will help you to
accomplish the small but important tasks that lead to greater success, and
uniquely enough action actually reduces fear as well. Having initiative will
give you the energy to move more quickly and therefore accomplish more each
day. Ideas are born of initiative, success in life moves forward because of
initiative.
This week lets you and I push through the fear and become
unstoppable.
