Achievers Wisdom #058: Overcoming Your Fear

"Fear is interest paid on debt you may not owe” – John C. Maxwell

Fear is full part of our life, everyone experience fear in one area of their life. One of the the major enemies to your greatness is fear. It is mostly caused by our past experience, but most especially unknown outcome of event; thus, the popularly statement “fear of unknown”. One thing I have experienced about fear is that; it is generated out of negative thinking. Remember “negative thinking is a mental hunger, feed it with the only food, positive thinking” – Balogun M. Adewale. In other words ““Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.” Says Napoleon Hill

In reality about 95% of our fear will never come to pass. They are only generated by our feeling and sometimes our past experience. Henry Ford from experience share this about fear “One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.” The only thing we have to fear when you are afraid to move on is fear itself” because fear lead to failure while uncertainty could lead to success. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” — Nelson Mandela

Fear has a good friend; procrastination, and procrastination is a well-known quality of a loser. Postponing what you need to do today till tomorrow is a gradual step towards failure, never good room for it. Dale Carnegie advised “Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.” Believe me, if someone can do it and has done it before, you too can do it. Never let fear steal your trophy.
