You Can Do This!

Fear is a major cause of inertia in the lives of many. Fear not only causes people to stop in their tracks and become immobile, but it also causes them to turn and run the other way.

While in many cases fear keeps us from danger, it can also prevent us from doing things that would be productive to our growth and success. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of new challenges, fear of other people, fear of change and making a transition all can hinder our growth and potential for a successful and fulfilling life.

I am not going to say that it is easy to overcome your fears. I have had many fears that have held me back, but I have also been able to overcome many of them too. I believe that YOU can do the same. I believe that within each of your fears, there lies the potential for great success and achievement. There lies the satisfaction of knowing that you can beat and overcome whatever may be holding you back. There lies the confidence you will need to face your next fear.

The first step is the hardest. Take each fear apart and examine the components until you zero in on what exactly may be the culprit. Stick your neck out and take a chance. Face the fear or rejection head on. Prove to yourself that you can beat it. You can knock it down. You can work through it. You can come out on top. You can do this.

Fear is conquered by action not inertia.
