The only thing to fear is fear itself!
Are you running away from your fears or you are facing and conquering them?
Everybody has fears and they are a natural and normal part of human experience. Fear is a useful emotion but it becomes a problem if it is blown out of proportion. Fear fills us with worry, doubt, and even dread. It is a very real emotion that can render us powerless. Every time fear wins, you lose. Every time you choose fear, you lose sight of your highest aspirations. You fall prey to being controlled by your history rather than rise to the future that you desire and deserve.
I have many clients who contact me because they have a fear that is holding them back and some of the most common fears are: Fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, fear of public speaking, fear of spiders, fear of being ridiculed, fear of flying, fear of rejection, fear of commitment.
Last month, I had a client who contacted me as she thought she had a fear of failure. Upon questioning her in our first session, we actually found out that she had a fear of success! She was very surprised as she was working very hard on her business and she really wanted to become successful.
We then worked on what would happen when she becomes successful. It was a big discovery for her as she realised that success was not that daunting and she was ready to take on more responsibility in her business, become famous, have more clients, be in the spotlight and be asked for interviews!
Once she found out that her fear of success was not serving her anymore, she had the courage to release it. Her fear of success was holding her back.
Finally, we worked on empowering her to find all the resources that she needed to move forward to embrace success. She now has the confidence to accomplish anything and her business is flourishing.
