Fear -- Feel It and Keep Moving
Many of us allow our fear to stop us in our tracks. All it takes is a less than encouraging word, a negative facial expression, or a less than positive opinion, and we give up before we even get started. We're afraid of:
Let's look at these five catalysts to failure and how they can be overcome. Abandonment His grandparents had adopted him and now they were on their way to Michigan. Rejection His first day of school was a disaster. His stuttering made his classmates laugh at him. It was the final straw for a frightened little boy. He closed his mouth and simply quit talking? for eight years! James Earl was completely mute - with the exception of conversations he had with himself when he was all alone. He found solace in the written word - creating poetry to release the raging in his soul. Judgment Can't you imagine his terror when he first stood in front of his classmates? What made him do it? Was it only the teacher's insistence? No. It was a deep desire to break free from his prison and speak all the things that had sat silently in his heart during all those years. He chose to feel the fear - and then do it anyway! Failure Responsibility Beyond the Fear People look at him today and see a confident actor with a deep, resonant voice. The next time you see him, look deeper. . . James Earl Jones' great secret to success is that he chose to push beyond his fears. He chose to change the reality of a young boy who had lived in silence for eight years. He chose to face ridicule and scorn in order to be free. I can only imagine how many years passed before he could open his mouth without being afraid of what would come out. So many of us let our fears stop us. We're afraid of how we will appear. We're afraid of what people will think. We're afraid we'll fail. And so. . . we do nothing. We exchange fear for regret. Fear will pass. Fear can be conquered. Fear will fade away in the face of determined action. Regret - well, you'll live with that for the rest of your life. What are you afraid of? Name the fear. Choose to face it. And take action to conquer it today! You, too, can live a life of success by feeling the fear and moving beyond it. The story for this article was taken from Ginny Dye's Daily Secrets For Success.
