Fear is an emotional response to threats and danger. Fear is also an emotional response to perceived threats and danger. It is the emotion by which you respond to situations or feelings of threat or pain.
As a human being, survival is your most basic and necessary instinct. That is all well and good, yet as a human being, many of you also allow the emotion of fear to hold you back from one of your most deserved and life fulfilling gifts… Success.
I use that word “Success” intentionally. It envelopes all of life’s gifts that are yours if you will just reach out and do what you need to do to achieve them.
We’re not going to talk about real fear here. In many situations in life, you really need to feel it. We are referring to those emotions of fear that come from your inability to bring your inner most desires and goals into reality. Perceived Fear is a success killer.
Perceived fear feels and is in reality as real as fear itself. With that said, where do you think your perceived fear comes from?
Taught… That’s right. Most of it is taught to you as a child. Parents, educators, leaders, elders and more tend to use fear as a way to control children. This emotional protection follows you all the way into adulthood. If you think about it, you begin to do this to yourself, and to your own children as well. Even in adulthood, parents, educators, leaders, elders and more tend to use fear as a way to control you. It’s a vicious cycle that is as real as you are.
Perceived Fear can rob you of life and life successes. It can take away your inherent gifts of creativity, love, health, prosperity and so much more.
You only get one chance at life. Be grateful that during that life, you get many chances to get it right. Getting it right means that your life brings you good health, joy, happiness and fulfillment.
Take the fact that you know where your perceived fears come from, how they affect you and what they steal from you and stand strong in your own strengths against them. In other words, don’t be your own worst enemy. Accept your inherent gifts and create your own success.
Success, it’s a beautiful thing…

To Focus, wow, sounds like such an easy thing to do, yet for most of us, in reality easy and focus may not reside on the same playing field.
Focus – to concentrate one’s attention on…
Success – the achievement of ones aim or goal…
Fruition – The fulfillment of something worked for…
Focus makes all the difference in the world when it comes to success. Success being the operative word here, what are you trying to achieve? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? What do you want?
Getting there is what I call “The Road To Success”. The vehicle that you must drive on “The Road To Success” is “Focus”. No, not a Ford Focus (just kidding, had to say it) but the act of focusing.
It goes something like this:
Know what you want
Focus on it
Succeed
Hmmm, back to that sounds easy enough. You and I both know it’s not. It takes a lot of determination, self discipline and personal strength to remain focused on anything long enough to bring it to fruition. It is that personal strength and act of focus that makes some people winners and some people not so. I won’t say the L word. The only ones that may fall into that category are the ones that quit. If you quit, maybe you never really wanted it in the first place, right? We will leave that one on the table for later discussions.
What are you trying to achieve success in? Sports, such as football, basketball, baseball, golf, etc. Personal growth? Your Job or career path? Internet Business, such as affiliate marketing, network marketing, multi level marketing, article marketing, etc. Your hobbies, plans for travel, life goals such a purchasing your first home, your first car or even upgrading? Raising a family?
Whatever your dream, your goal, your desire, your wants or needs, it doesn’t really matter what category they fall under, they all require the same thing to achieve. That thing, that act is called “Focus”.
Follow this little formula with a lot of determination, self discipline and personal strength and realize your wildest dreams. I dare you!
K+F=S
Know what you want
Focus on it
Succeed
As Walt Disney said, “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It”. So do I. Go do it…
Awesome…
To your success

“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer.” ~ Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari Computer
