I Don't Have A Clue!

Often difference between success and failure is a missing ingredient; most of time, just one. If we only could get our hands on that one number, all our prayers would be answered. And, that's way it is for most of our endeavors, just one missing number that makes all difference.

Well, here is what happens most of time. I don't want to oversimplify this, but let me make an analogy. Let's say you have a project almost complete, you've studied, planned, or pouted, and laid out slickest dog and pony show even you have ever seen. And, now it's ready for moment of truth.

You have all numbers of combination laid out, but success button just doesn't seem to work. You have gone through them over and over and door still won't open.

Is it because you've gotten into something over your head? Nah! How many times have you knowingly tackled something you knew you couldn't do? If we think we can't run with big dogs, we'll just keep our pretty selves on porch.

Here's reason: It's because there is a missing number. But, instead of looking for that missing number, we keep going through same steps we've already been successful with, hoping that will somehow cause this sucker to work so we can forget about missing number.

Well, Just Between You And Me And The Fence Post!

We didn't know what to do about missing combination anyway. So, it would suit us just fine if that missing number would take a hike. Well, I tell you from lots of personal experience, that missing number ain't going to take a hike to make your life easier.

But, one thing that missing number will do; is cause this project to bow to your commands and cause your success to come shinning through. I am firmly convinced that success is easy in everything we attempt. Now don't get all choked up. :>) Although I know it seems to be sometimes impossible during heat of battle.

I can hear somebody saying to me now; "boy, you are just a few fries short of a happy meal". Stay with me now. Ok, hot shot, why do you say success is easy? Well, what makes it seem so difficult is; we are continually going back through same steps we discovered that works, and project is screaming find final number.

We know something is missing, but we don't know what it is. So, we keep doing same things over and over pretending final number doesn't matter hoping for a different result. Someone said; that's definition of insanity.

Consider this: think about a huge success you have achieved sometime in your life. Think about how difficult it was while you were working on it and before it was completed.

Is it fear that is holding you back? I notice that fear has everything to do with our lives, whether you realize it or not. Because of fear, people are willingly being ordinary, poor, and being caught in a boring job.

Fear is a very destructive force. It kills enthusiasm, encourages procrastination, eliminates self-confidence, drains your energy, and decreases imagination.

Why do you have fear in first place? Indecision and doubt breed fear. Have you noticed that in your attempt to become rich, when you're not sure and in doubt, fear will appear? The appearance of fear will stop you from achieving what you want.

More often than not, fear is only your perception and it's not real. It's only a state of mind. That's why F.E.A.R. is acronym for "False Evidence Appearing Real."

Overcoming fear can lead you to not only have more money; it improves virtually every aspect of your life. But how do you live a 'fearless' life?

There are many ways to overcome fear.

One of my favorites is to gather as much information as you can. When I decided to learn stock trading, which was a totally new area to me then, I attended an investment workshop, surfed Internet, read books on investment, and subscribed to newsletters. There is a lot of information, on any imaginable topic, easily available to you now. By gathering facts and information, you can overcome your fear and also learn from experiences of other people.
