How to Overcome Fear

In order to be happy, you may want to do two things (see other post here). But what about if you want to follow your dreams, but you are afraid to? What if you are worried that something will happen, or that people won't like you, or that you will fail? Well, all of these things are able to happen, although they probably will not. Still, you cannot just waste your life away because you are scared of something. (P.S. many of your fears might be irrational or not real.)

Answer the following out loud (quietly if you are with others I guess..)

• Do you want to live the life you have always imagined?
• Do you want to be the person that you have always wanted to be and are proud of?

If yes, then isn't it worth it to break through your fears? Would you rather spend the rest of your life living in mediocrity, or would you want to have an AMAZING and FANTASTIC life? The choice is yours, just make sure that you are not filled with regrets when you look back at all the wasted time later on...

Maybe I am being a bit too harsh, but it's still true. You see, many different people will tell you "6 new ways to overcome fear" or other BS. Maybe what they are saying has worked for them, but if it had worked for you, you wouldn't be reading this right now, would you? It all just boils down to motivation. What they are telling you helped motivated them to do what they were scared of. There is no secret formula or "quick fix", just motivation and effort. So stop searching around to try to find some secret and instead start doing! You already know what to do, don't try to fool yourself that you need more information!

As Jack Canfield says: Ready, Fire!, Aim.

Break Through, starting Today!
