Over the years I’ve learnt that there are
hidden fears that stop people from
reaching their goals. It’s called fear of
success, and it occurs regularly than you
might think. You may experience it in
different ways but the result is always the
same. No matter what kind of goal
someone is trying to reach, be it financial,
health, career, parenting or relationship,
there are some common traps that might
stop them from living their dream in life.
Everyone is bound to experience fear at a
certain point in life. You must learn how to
use fear to your advantage. Learning to
overcome fear is necessary. You must
learn how to push through hard times,
because there is always a hard time.
Meanwhile, we all know that fear exist and
most people has never thought about
looking deep to know the cause and effect
of fear in their lives.
The below steps will help you overcome
your fears and make you strive for
success.
The fear of failing
To reach your true potential you must
lessen irrelevant emotionally based fear
such as anxiety, doubt, emotional damage
or limiting beliefs etc. Identify that you are
going to be encountering some challenges
in pursuing your goal, don't declare yourself
a dismissal failure, use your energy to
generate a plan to get back. Any
consistence fear that does not protect your
well being should be canceled. Success
comes in a straight line. Most people think
one step back means they are back to the
start which is one of the major reasons
why they give up. There is a saying that
''the downfall of a man is not the end of
his life'', failure does not mean you are out
of the game. Failure is not a mistake; it's
the best you can do at that circumstance.
The greatest mistake is to stop trying.
Don’t give up before you see the outcome
In today's digital world, most people find it
difficult to wait for the time it takes to
reach a goal. Just because you didn't see
result does not mean your efforts are
wasted. Most people criticize, conclude or
judge themselves even before seeing the
result. One thing about fear is it impacts
your ability to make decision and follow it.
Be truthful to yourself; tell yourself how
important your goal is. Create a timeline for
it, if you can’t work on it today tell yourself
when to tackle it and always learn to be
confident and exercise patient. Note that
everything has its time of manifestation.
Make your goal a must
The fear of something bad might happen
has stopped most people from reaching
their goal and the reason is because they
didn't make it a priority. Your goal should
be a matter of must, not probability, stay
focus and say to yourself, i must reach my
goal. Some fear getting hurt along the line.
Note that if a man has not discovered that
which is worth dying for, that man is not
worth living.
Lack of self confidence
Note that life in general is based on belief.
What you belief will work for you. Many
emotional fears are based on low self
esteem, most people feel inferior while
others underestimate themselves even
before getting to their destination. Maybe
because of the personalities involved in the
same goal. The fact that everybody are
after one particular goal doesn't make you
a looser, may be because they are more
skilled than you. Don’t in any circumstance
think low of yourself. It’s very wrong to
belittle yourself, no matter the situation
belief in your ability and your capability
because you can actually do all things if
you belief you can.
Before you think about quitting why not
seat back and think about why you started.
