Chapter 28: Face your fears!
“The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.”
Paolo Coelho
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you
really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you
cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
Don’t let your fears frustrate you, limit you, or paralyze you!
David Joseph
Schwartz puts it this way: “Do what you fear and your fear disappears” and
Mark Twain already knew over a hundred years ago that
"20 years from now
you will be more disappointed with the things you didn't do than with the
ones that you did."
Or as one of my favorite sayings goes: "Never regret the
things you did; only those you never tried!"
So face these fears!
Ninety percent
of them are pure imagination anyway. Illusions! Incredible stories of drama and
disaster that will probably never happen and are made up by your mind - “the
world’s greatest director of soap operas”, as T. Harv Eker says - to keep you in
your comfort zone. The only problem is that great things like development,
growth and success happen outside of the comfort zone.
Fears are a survival mechanism of your mind. Your mind wants to keep you safe
and anything that your mind doesn't know, scares it. I had many fears in my life
and still do but I learned to overcome them and behind my fears great
opportunities waited for me. So I made it a habit to use my fear as a springboard.
Just ask yourself,
