Overcoming Fear

As I understand it, there is no absence of fear - it is a normal emotion.  The trick is to live life in spite of the fear we feel.  One of my favorite books at a time in my life was "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway."   I loved the book and it validated that experience.  Be willing to jump.  What is the worst that could happen?  What if you don't jump?  Then what.  I sometimes get to the place in my life that I can't NOT do something even though I may not be thrilled at the prospect.  Having to move forward sometimes overrides the fear.  Now, that does not mean that common sense shouldn't be an issue.  Jumping out of an airplane isn't for all of us and some fear may be healthy, just keeping us alive and safe.  So deciding whether we have a fear of people, relationships, being judged is another thing.  Those are the kinds of fears we can work on and that may stop us from living our life. This program re: money making ideas was not what you would think - it was how to think like the rich, and it was my first HUGE jump in the internet lifestyle.  Moved me to a new level.
How about fear of success when trying to change your life? Sometimes the OLD is more comfortable.  Many people have no idea what they are capable of and stop themselves, perhaps because they are afraid of what they could become.  I see many young children that are very afraid of many things, including friends and taking risks with people.  If they do not experience successes in life with taking risks they may stay locked in their rut of being afraid.  But to experience success, one must take the risk in the first place.  Check out my blogs, including http://creatingsuccess2day.com
