Perceived Fear Is A Success Killer

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 yours,
