STOP! Being overthinking EVERYTHING!
We are all afraid of big things, Small things.
But what sets unsuccessful people apart from those who are successful is fear!

Fear Is Necessary For Our Survival

We couldn't survive as a species if it weren't for our fear. Imagine as our little mammal ancestors roamed the land with the dinosaurs If they didn't experience fear!?
We wouldn't be around today! They would have all been eaten.
Fear is essential for all animals.

But we have silly reasons to be afraid now.
We aren't about to be eaten by lions.
Our fears are now based off of what society has constructed us to be afraid of.

Loss of income
Feelings of "failure."

Obviously, there are real consequences to these fears we have. But many of them don't threaten our lives.
We may lose our income, Our families, Our enjoyments in life. But rarely do we have a gun pointed at us.

Do Fears slow you down?

When I find a fear is starting to slow me down from what I want in life, That's when I push my self to get over it.
People act like I wasn't scared when I quit my last job. Or when I dropped out of school.
I WAS TERRIFIED!
But I knew at this age; I had been given an incredible opportunity, and with my responsibilities reasonably low. I may not have a chance like this again. I had no husband to answer to, No kids to feed. Just me and two cute little rabbits. So I took the chance.
When fears prevent you from living the life you want, You really should be afraid of fear it's self. Because at that point, Whatever it is your afraid of, Is no longer the problem.

Can Fear Fuel You?

Your shaking, You can't function. You just got a burst of adrenaline.
Will you fall on the ground crying, Or will you get up strong as fuck? And take down your obstacle?
Use your fear To take action!

When I see my income go down. I get scared. I Have no employer to "Back Me Up." It's all me!
I'm 100% responsible for paying the bills. I use that fear to come up with new ideas so I can bring in that extra money!
Use your fear as a tool! Not a disabler.

Do The complicated Stuff first.

When I'm afraid of something here's what I do...

Stop thinking about it.
Immediately start doing it.

Don't think about it! Forget your fear. Go for it. Make the hard decision then go.

I know that's easier said than done. But with practice, it gets easier.

Figure out why your afraid

Often fear is ridiculous. Our imagination comes up with the most bizarre and unrealistic things.

I was afraid to take the bus. Why?
Because I was afraid of talking to people.
I was afraid to get on the wrong bus and get stranded far from home, having no way to get back.

Really?

People are mostly harmless. And the only way I'd get over being shy, Is interaction with people!
Even if I did get "stranded" there are bus drivers who can lead me in the right direction, Or I could use Lyft or Uber to get me home.

As you can see my fears were silly!

You get one life

None of us knows for sure what happens when you die. What if this is the only one? Are you going to let your fears dictate your whole life? You need to do what you can to get passed them so that you can live a happy life!
