Triumph Over Fear
Key Take Away: To create the life you desire and deserve, it’s imperative that you overcome fear-based thoughts and create for yourself a success mindset. Within every problem is the solution.
Imagine yourself five years from now, having enjoyed fabulous business growth, living the life you’ve always dreamed about. As you fantasize, what emotional response does your vision provoke? Do you feel inspired, empowered to bring your wildest dreams to fruition? Are you motivated to develop a bigger brand? Or do you sense disempowerment, as if this could never happen for you, that you’ll always have wishfully champagne tastes on a paltry beer budget?
Entrepreneurship is not for the faint at heart. I believe that it is also the only true path out of poverty. However, just like employees yell “TGIF,” there are some days when the demands of being self-employed will attempt to steal your peace of mind.
When this happens, it is helpful to remember that our lives are a direct reflection of our dominant thoughts, on our fear mastery, on our mindset mastery. It’s imperative that you recognize your imagination is more powerful than “rational” thought. Fear manifests itself in many ways, each one of them disheartening and troublesome. However Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, simplifies its varied expressions into six different categories. Listed in order of importance, they are:
- Fear of Poverty
- Fear of Criticism
- Fear of Ill Health
- Fear of Loss of Love
- Fear of Old Age
- Fear of Death
To create the life you desire and deserve, it’s imperative that you overcome fear-based thoughts and create for yourself a success mindset. I firmly believe that within every problem is the solution. I’ve constantly sought ways to manage my thoughts in a way that allowed me to become more proficient, productive and profitable, and I am convinced this has made all the difference for me in achieving my goals.
Now, it’s time for you to do the same.
Here is my 5-Step Process for Triumphing over Fear.
- Become conscious of your intentions, thoughts, feelings and language. Realize that your thoughts mold your circumstances.
- Know thyself. Recognize that you are fully equipped with the skills to overcome any and every challenge that presents itself to you. The bigger your problem, the bigger your blessing. Face your fears and you will discover that the perceived obstacle transforms into your personal stepping-stone to success.
- Love thyself. Embody the quote “When you believe in your dreams, they may come true, but when you believe in yourself, they will come true!”
- Stay present. Stop conjuring up feelings of shame and regret from your past, and stop visualizing a horrible future. Wake up productive! Remember that every day – particularly this exact day in this exact moment – presents you with countless opportunities to live, love and serve! Just do it!
- Embrace an attitude of respect, appreciation and gratitude for all life offers. Embody the wisdom of Sai Baba who said: “Love all, serve all.”
- Fear of Death
