How To Get Freedom From The Illusion Of Fear !

Can you remember the last time you really wanted to do something, but you didn’t? Who stopped you, what changed your mind? Was it that voice inside your brain? Have you ever stopped to question, who and what that voice is? Fear ! Fear is the catalyst for inaction. Fear is he voice that tells us, if we try, the probability of failure will be higher than-that of success, that rejection is more likely than acceptance, fear is the emotion that makes us do nothing instead.

If we look at all of the successful people in the world, Steve Jobs, Mandela, Donald Trump, Ratan Tata, Narendra Modi above all else, they possessed the fortitude to keep going. They all experienced issues along the way, however, when they embarked on their journey, they never anticipated the road to be a smooth one. So any problems they encountered, motivated them more, they chose to keep going when others would have given up, they chose to fight not retreat, they chose … freedom !

Here is a list of points to help you overcome your fears:

1. You should feel the fear and do it anyway 

You might remember this title from the best selling book by Dr Susan Jeffers. In her book, Dr Jeffers talks about developing assertiveness and challenging our negative thought patterns. She also talks about how we can extend our comfort zone by taking risks. The message to be learned then is that the only way we can overcome our fears is by confronting them. Put your fear aside, and just do it.

2. Go beyond all reason 

I recently watched the film ‘The attack of 26/11’. Following the movie, I was researching the events of 26/11 on the Internet, and I came across an article listing accounts of several people who were delayed on that fateful day. People lost their car keys, others were caught in traffic, one woman was late for work because she forgot to set her alarm, another man got stuck on the freeway because of an accident,,, the stories are endless.

Sometimes we are not aware of the master plan, the grand design and it is not until some time has passed, when we reflect back, we possess an understanding of why we met someone, why we missed that train or that an unforeseen obstacle or delay was in fact a blessing in disguise or the universe conspiring. Call it destiny, serendipity but regardless, remember, there is always a reason why things happened, even if we are not aware of it at the time.

3. Finding obstruction

How many times have you found yourself making an excuse for why you have not done something?  It’s too hard … I’am too tired … I have not got enough time?’ Does that sound familiar? We are all culprit of that mind set at one time or another in our lives, however, successful people invest the time and effort even when they don’t feel like it. Successful people do things the things that others find difficult. They take calculated risks, they are accountable for their actions, they have initiative are motivated, passionate and encourage others. They weren’t born successful or ‘lucky’, they achieved their goals through determination, hard work and by being fearless, they have courage of their convictions. They find opportunities … not obstacles.

4. Regrets

If you ever speak to those that are somewhat older and wiser, they will tell you that, in life, we usually regret the things we didn’t do, rather than the things we did. If you spend your life, you will never know the outcome. And remember, no result is a negative one. It’s what you make of your experiences, every moment, every encounter shapes you, bringing you to the point in your life, you are at now. A wise man once said.

“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves – regret for the past and fear of the future.”
