Have you ever had fear stop you? Then this article is for you. Oh, this is a great topic!I remember when I was younger and in school, fear stopped me from asking out a girl I wanted to date.
I didn't understand it then but I certainly do today.
Do you ever have any thoughts of fear that cause you to not to move ahead with any of your dreams or goals?
Every human on earth at one time or another feels this "fear" and reverts back into their "safety" or comfort zone. The system was created to protect us in times of real danger but we must learn when danger is real or caused by our imagination of what may happen…again.
What ability causes one person to face and overcome possible rejection at work, in school or in a relationship, vs. someone who is paralyzed by
mere thought?
A man who goes after business like a tiger may be uncomfortable with women and therefore not be able to approach a woman for fear of rejection.
A woman who is miserable in a relationship may be petrified at thought of saying anything to her spouse in fear of potential discussion or backlash.
A child may not seek out other children to play with at school in fear of rejection.
The list can go on and on, from fear of leaving your job, to fear of hurting yourself if you try something new.
So, what is really going on, and how can we stop this once and for all?
First and foremost, understand that fear is a very common feeling and we all have one fear or another. The "feeling" of fear is almost solely based on what we think may happen if we try and fail. It is different than actually knowing that we will hurt ourselves, if we fall 20 stories from a building.
