Hello and welcome, I want to begin by asking you a question.
What do you want? Are the results in your life what you really want? You see,its time we started taking an honest look at our results. What I am writing today is a subject that a lot of people have little knowledge of what to do about it but yet everyone small or great, old or young, rich or poor experience it. The factor I am talking about is responsible for the failure of so many great businesses, The death of great talents, potentials and gifts. This single factor is what has robbed men of their highest rewards in life. It is what keeps potential spouses still apart, it is what causes students in school to believe they do not know even when they know, it is what has brought the richest man down to poverty and has led the poor deeper in poverty. This factor has led men to ignore that which they love and go after that which they have not even the faintest affection for. This factor that I have spoken so much about is called
FEAR Fear is responsible for more harm than good as far as the human potential is concerned. You see,
because of fear, many people have become extras in their own movie instead of being the main actors.
FEAR THE FEAR ANYWAYS
There is a poem I love so much by Christopher Logue:
"Come to the edge, he said.
We are afraid, they said.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came to the edge,
He pushed them and they flew.
Come to the edge, Life said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, Life said.
They came. It pushed them...
And they flew."
You are permitted to feel the fear but you are not permitted to let that fear stop you.
HOW TO ACT IN SPITE OF FEAR
1. Identify your fear, write it down and read it as you read, assure yourself that your fear is just an illusion and a suggestion of doubt.
2. Write out the task you have at hand.
3. Break your task into sections or little units
4. Visualize the success of your overall success twice everyday once upon awakening and once before retiring to bed at night.
5. Make a written statement of you enjoying the success of your overall goal and read it out loud twice everyday once upon awakening and once before retiring to bed at night.
By the time you make a habit of taking this step whenever you have an assignment to do and feel fearful you would soon realise that fear actually is really
False

Real.
