BEYOND FEAR: SUCCESS

In many areas of life we will find that the biggest reason why people fail in any project, whether this is an undertaking or starting a new business, starting to have a healthier lifestyle or changing certain emotional characteristics is because of fear, and the excuses that lie behind it.

Surely you ever wondered what your greatest fear was, and quite possibly a few years ago your answer could have been by the sides of spiders, insects, Heights, fire or any similar. Today I ask you to ask yourself that question again and there is a very high possibility that this issue will now go through something much deeper and of much greater relevance. Fear of not fulfilling your goals, not achieving your dreams, not continuing to grow. These have surely been triggered in us by excuses that we have decided to accept as absolute truths.

"Take a new step, say a new

word, it's what people fear the most"

Dostoyevsky

If we think about the great successes of our time surely everyone will have a different vision of what would be the greatest of all, this is because success is what you decide it to be, that's what you want to see realized in your life. However, there is something that every successful person and every successful case has in common: face fears and what made each distant goal feel, with courage, to overcome them.

When you face these fears the first thing you can ask yourself Is this: Is this fear real or is it an excuse I am creating not to move forward? In many cases, speaking of what we want to achieve in our lives, fears are excuses that hide in a 'reasonable' idea by which dreams pass from an achievable plane to its complete opposite.

"I don't have the time", "I don't have the experience to do it", "I'm too young-or too old-", "my time has passed", "I can't".

Start, take the first step is what lead us to fulfill goals and dreams and get out of the trap of excuses and fears. To get out of them the first thing you have to do is identify them and put on each of them a stone, an argument-or many - that make you doubt the fear-or the excuse - and face it, each of these will build your ladder to success, to your dreams and goals. Living with fears is what does not allow us to live lives with which we feel truly complete, satisfied, and ultimately happy. Facing fears is what leads us to grow.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness

That most frightens us.”

Nelson Mandela
