MASTER FEAR AND DOUBT
Fear begins to melt when you take action towards a goal you really want.
R.G.A
There are two inborn killers of great achievements, they are- fear and
doubt.
We are all born with amnesia; every new born baby can’t remember anything
about what happened in the womb. But the only thing that every baby came with
is the two natural fears of falling and loud noise. This two fears are healthy
and essential for our survival, while every other fear is unnatural, unhealthy
and learnt artificially.
To master every artificially learnt fear is another principle of riches
and wealth. People who have accomplish amazing things have had to master there
fears. It’s not that this people had no fears, but they mastered their fears to
achieve success.
I will list and explain some of
these fears.
i.
Fear
of the unknown
ii.
Fear
of failure
iii.
Fear
of rejection
iv.
Fear
of loss of money
v.
Fear
of death
vi.
Fear
of old age
FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
Fear of the unknown is very insidious and subtle, it causes
under achievement. No matter how human’s try they can’t tell what will happen
in the future. Humans can’t tell what joys and sorrows life bring, they just don’t
know. As the song goes “No one knows tomorrow”. This brings fear to many people
making them play life safe not wanting to take any risk because they don’t know
what will happen if they do. This is the fear of the unknown.
(Personally I think that the fear of the unknown is a good
thing because I believe that my billion dollars will come from people I don’t
known, and so will yours)
I also think that life and risk go together; almost every
part of life has risk. Even people who fear taking financial risk and who
remain poor have the risk of not being able to take care of themselves and to
struggle through life
FEAR OF FAILURE
This is another fear that stops people from achieving riches
and wealth. Every successful person has had to master this fear. This people know that
the way we learn or accomplish anything is by failing a few times before we
gain mastery.
I have never seen a skilled painted come out of the womb with
a paint brush and a beautiful work of art in hand. Or a skilled doctor, come
out at birth performing live saving surgery. They all have to train make a few
mistakes, before they become successful. This is natural.
Poor people fear failure so much that they fail in life in
the process. Forgetting that to fail is the way we learn, as Robert allen said
“there is no failure only feed back”.
Christopher Columbus fail to find a rout to the indices but
found America. Abraham Lincoln failed so many times before he became
president, Thomas Edison I talk about earlier failed 10,000 times before he
invented the light bulb. Dr Alexander Graham Bell fails to find a means to
invent a hearing aid for his wife but invented the long distance telephone. The
list will go on and on. But one thing that is common to all successful people is that,
they did not find it easy to achieve anything, but despite this they did
succeed.
I have to admit that failing is a painful experience and as I
said humans run from pain and embrace pleasure. Since failing brings pain, it
also brings fear which many people run away from. This makes them to accept
poverty and mediocrity, instead of riches and wealth.
To master fear one must know that, the only way to accomplish
anything to the level of excellence one must fail first.
FEAR OF REJECTION
This is an acquired fear that plaque many people. This fear
was acquired from an early age. When babies are born they are the adorable
kings and queens of the house and they rule their kingdom with an iron little
fist. All their needs and wants are attended to by their parents, and if they don't
get what they want all hell breaks loss by crying their lungs out. As time goes
on the babies come to expect that whatever they ask for they will get by
crying. When the child gets to age 3- 5, things start to change. Every whim and
cry is not cared for as it used to be. The babies stop being in control, the
parents use rejections to put the baby in its place, just to make the baby
behave. After 3 to 5 years of the baby being the boss of the house, it is now
forced to be the servant of the parents. To enforce the law on the little
fellows the parents will use multiple rejections on the child, thus making the
child to develop the fear of rejection.
Let’s fast forward to the future when the child becomes an
adult and starts a business which requires that he or she sells products or
services to customers and as you know some customers must reject the product or
service, this awakens that old subconscious fear of rejection.
FACE YOUR FEARS
To master fear one must have to face the fear. Every one of
the outstanding achievers on this planet who has accumulated riches has had to
face his or her fear. In the book Road To Wealth written by Robert .G. Allen,
says that the second secret to wealth is to “face your fears”.
FEAR AND DOUBT
Fear and doubt are two sides of the same coin, when one has
fears, doubt must follow. This is a key reason why people choose a life of lack
over a life of abundance. They doubt themselves, they doubt their abilities and
they believe that other successful people are better than them and they
themselves are worthless.
To succeed in life one must root out any acquired FEAR and
DOUBT.
