LIFE FACTS-Tackling Fear

President Franklin Rooselvelt said "All we have to fear is fear itself." 

Overcoming fears forces us to learn and embracing risk-taking also helps you to overcome a fear of failure.

Think about your biggest goal. Why haven’t you accomplished it yet? If you’re like most people, the answer is basic: fear. 

Fear is the limiting factor stopping you from working toward what you really want. Fear distracts us and leads to excuses – but it doesn’t have to. Learning how to overcome fear is one of the most liberating pursuits you can undertake. 

It’s easy to pretend fear isn’t influencing you and to make excuses as to why you haven’t achieved what you’re capable of. Instead of turning around and hiding from it, treat fear as a cue to take action, not an excuse. Look at your goal. If you let fear chase you away from achieving it, then you’ve effectively given in.

This is why the path to overcoming fear includes acknowledging the fears and limiting beliefs holding you back. You’ve done the mental work: identifying the real reasons you’re holding yourself back and determining your must-haves in life. But overcoming fear requires that you practice these habits daily so they will lead to true action.

"Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.” Goal visualization is one of these solutions.

Everyone fails. Successful business owners. World leaders. Prominent chefs. Artists and scientists and doctors. 

Our society shies away from talking about failure, and instead celebrates successes; this creates the false impression that to be truly successful you must never fail. But part of overcoming fear is recognizing that everyone on the planet – including those you know and admire – has encountered failure on their path to greatness. 

The quicker you realize your fear of failure is preventing you from making the decision to accomplish your dreams, the sooner you’ll be able to accept the possibility of failing and move on.

How you respond to fear is what sets you apart from the rest of the crowd. Break through your own barriers. You can!

    Fear can be a torment. The key is to identify a healthy fear for self preservation from an unhealthy fear that stops one from doing what promptly needs to be done towards a great life and a better future. May God help us all.
