Overcome Fear
Fear
Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat.
Today I want to talk about fear. I don't mean to put yourself in a dangerous situation. I am referring to the kind of fear that stops you from doing things in your life. What do I mean? If you think about the things that you shut yourself from or put off. A good example is learning to make a website or repairing a faucet for the first time. We make excuses of as to why we can't do it. In reality, it is our fear. We don't know how to do It or we are afraid to make a mistake. What is the root of the problem? Why do some people jump right in while the others make excuses?
I know of someone that is in business but doesn't like to meet new people. If puzzles me to see this. How could you own a business if you have no desire to meet new people? How do you survive if you don't strive to get new customers to keep your business going?
So I said to her, you should find someone to help represent your business since you dislike to approach strangers. She was upset at my suggestion. She didn't agree and replied I always talk to new people. On the contrary, she would never mingle, reach out or network at any events. She gave excuses and kept denying it. Perhaps she is shy? No she isn't. What is the worst scenario when you talk to strangers?
Follow your heart beyond fear!
I say No guts, no glory!

Hi Marc!
I think the greatest fear that people normally experience before starting something is the fear of failure. We all might experience this once in a while. But it's not about the obstacle we face, it's about how we overcome it. It surely needs a lot of determination. It's not easy but it's possible.
Hi Dauphin,
You are right people do fear failure. I believe the most important thing is mindset.
Like the saying goes "nothing ventured, nothing gained"
I would also tell my team.
Not trying is the worst failure!
Thanks.
Take care,
Marc
Hi Marc,
Agree with you, not trying is the worst failure. If when our plan doesn't work, we will still gain experience. And experience is the best teacher. From there we will know how to make a better plan.
I think in some respect we all face fears at some point,it's what you do about it that makes the difference.Good message.Best success,Marty
Thanks Marty!
Yes accept the challenge or hide in the corner. No hiding for me.
Take care,
Marc
Fear is of this world and you have to live with it to an extent. It will push you.
Thank you,

Hey Abdullahi,
You are right hopefully it pushes people in the right direction. So people run and hide while others step up and accept the challenge.
All the best to your success!

Great blog! People sometimes ask me but why join something like WA...you all know the comments from certain family and friends...its doesn't work etc etc....IT IS SIMPLY FEAR...fear of the unknown even and change...
Yep Gareth, 95% of people are scared of change.
I look at it as it makes life more interesting
Take care my friend,
Marc
Loved your article!
I believe fear in its core is a useful emotion. It is meant to act as an alert. A trigger for preservation or survival purposes.
Now, psychological fear is a whole different story. There is no "actual" danger there, but you do feel it and it can really put a halt in your life.
I have come to understand that the moment you actively decide to step out of this mental block and do the "fearful" thing, it goes away.
Thanks George!
I have the same experience, then I think to myself wth was I so afraid of?

Thanks again for a great post. I do not want fear to prevent me from succeed. I think when fear strikes , I will make breakdown that fear into components and tackle them one by one. It beats spinning my wheels and doing nothing.
Thanks Deb,
That's a great way to combat fear. I am sure that those fears don't have a chance against you.
Take care,
Marc
