Afraid To Succeed:  FEAR=False Evidence Appearing Real

Fear of SuccessI recently heard someone say “#no-fear-this-year!” For such a small word, fear can have a huge impact. Fear is that paralyzing emotion that prevents dreams from becoming reality, businesses from being launched, minds from being changed and it also prevents success.

Success means different things to different people. For some, success means fame and fortune, others recognition and respect and still others something as simple as a sense of accomplishment.

What makes us fearful of success? Is it doubt, lack of vision, change or discomfort? Frankly yes its all of this plus any negative, self-defeating thoughts, speech and habits. We hold within us the power to talk and think ourselves into or out of just about anything.

I challenge everyone to aim for sucess oriented goals no matter how small. Just as fear can be paralyzing, success can be invigorating and habit forming.

Adopt a new meaning of fear this year and overcome it.

FEAR=Face Everything and Rise!

#NoFearThisYear!
