Is Fear Limiting Your Success?

June 6th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Fear is the greatest culprit for sabotaging our success. When we allow fear to debilitate us we are choosing defeat. Being afraid of failure is usually the source of our fear. When we are afraid to move forward because of fear of failure we have admitted defeat.

Don’t let fear keep you from your full potential. Don’t sell yourself short. Take the steps to overcome your fears and conquer this destructive force.

How do you bust past fear?

  • Admit your fear. Admitting your fear is the first step in conquering fear. Once you have admitted the fear you can now address it and move on.

  • Realize that facing your fear is the price you have to pay for success. Fear is inevitable. Facing it brings success. Giving in brings defeat.
  • Change your belief about yourself. Don’t sell yourself short - know your potential and don’t underestimate. Visualize yourself at your best, having fulfilled your desires. Keep that image in your mind as you build your resolve to conquer fear. What you believe about yourself is crucial!
  • Turn your fear into force. Instead of using your energy to feed your fear use that energy to work on the positive opposite of the exact thing you fear. Build your strength by focusing on the aspects you can control.
  • Face off with fear. Often the only way to get past fear is to take action and charge right through it. As you begin to attack the thing that you fear the most you realize that the giant is truly not as great a thing to be feared as you first thought it was. Defeat fear by charging directly toward it and prove to yourself the power you have within!

      I think for me it is combination of fear and time management…maybe my horrible time management is based in fear…will have to think on this.

      This is so true…and yet so hard to overcome! Our self-image is so ingrained and so much part of us that it is one of the hardest things to overcome.
      Great post!

      Taking that first step is so hard - kind of like stepping off of a cliff. But once we step - we discover that the cliff wasn’t as steep as we thought!
