What if.
I've come to a harsh realization about how much I let the question "What if I fail?" determine the course of my life. I've had so many ideas over the years that I would write out, deeply consider and even believe they were great ideas - but before I ever took to action I asked myself "What if I fail?" and down the drain it all went. Immediately. But one day, while browsing a forum thread about starting businesses, a user said "What if I succeed?" Mind blown. Never in my life did I think to flip the question around like that, and never did I realize how much of a difference it would make in how I approach new opportunities. Luckily, this happened before I came across WA. If that question didn't pop into my mind when I first created my starter account with WA, I undoubtedly wouldn't have considered investing money into this. And at first, I didn't. But then I asked myself "What if I succeed?" and here I am now. The training, the resources and the community here is so in-depth and high-quality that even if stay-at-home employment is really far away from reality, I'm beyond happy to pay for what I'm learning here.
So with this I hope that everyone feeling doubtful about anything asks themselves...
"What if I succeed?"

Received this from a group on Facebook, associated with Gary Halbert. it's about overcoming Fear from novel by Dune.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obligation.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone, will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
What a wonderful poem to remember to overcome your fear!

We are always confronted with the 'What if' question.
This is another way of looking at this and I appreciate your bringing my attention to it.

When I lost the ability to walk at age 16, I never thought about failing to walk again. I only thought about how long will it take to walk again!
Over my life I have had to learn to walk again too many times to want to count so I don't. I only think of it as speed bumps on the journey of Making SmileS Happen!
Keep SmileS Coming!

You need to turn your negative thoughts into positive ones---always thinking of failing puts you shoes in cement and keeps you from moving ahead with anything in life
read a book about affirmations and study the Laws of Attraction----when you put negative thoughts out into the Universe that's what you get back
you have to love yourself first to get rid of the negative thoughts
