Little Miracle
Fear
Fear is a killer of dreams. Fear is the primary reason for failure. Fear corrodes the container. Fear short-circuits our immune system. Fear begets financial cholesterol. Fear has many siblings: worry, anger, resentment, ego, and narcissism. In fact, anything opposite of love has fear as its father. We fear and worry about things that never happen but we keep fearing and worrying anyway. Mark Twain penned these prophetic words, “The things I worried about seldom came about.” Some fear meeting strangers. Some fear attending an event as a solitary stranger. Some have a fear of speaking to an audience. We fear almost every situation that would contribute to our journey to bountiful, both personally and professionally. Fear is a learned response. Any learned response can be unlearned. William James so insight fully wrote, “We must become dis-inhibited.” Fear shackles us to our penury. Be a prisoner of hope not a prisoner of fear.
Hesitation is a form of fear. I read the following by George W. Dudley, on a tall cup of Starbucks regular, in Phoenix, Arizona three years ago:
The hesitation to initiate contact with prospective buyers on a consistent daily basis is responsible for the failure of more competent, motivated, capable salespeople that any other factor. Nothing else even comes close.
The Marketing Director for Merrill Lynch in La Jolla, California addressed his fears with the following:
Each Day
Begin each day with a cup of coffee, a pen, pad and a question:
What brave things will I do today to increase my income?
Next Monday I will share a few very poignant, fear removing quotes from some mental giants.
