Your Number One Enemy

The number one enemy of success is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of bad health, fear of loss of love, fear of old age, fear of death and the fear of what other people might think. More people failed from the fear of failing, than from failure itself.

The moment you are afraid of something, your mind becomes paralyzed. It’s unable to function creatively and becomes incapable of solving your problems. I would suggest that you get rid of all your fears at once. Otherwise you’ll spend the rest of your life not only as a mediocre person, but as a total failure as well. Whether you catch yourself being afraid of something, ask the following question: “What is the worst thing that can happen and what difference will it make 200 years from now?” The moment you succeed in overcoming your fears, you’ll become instantly a new person. Your creative juices will start flowing, your energy will be inexhaustible and nothing will be able to stop you from reaching your goals in life.

Just look around yourself. Individuals who have overcome their fear are successful. Remember children when they learn to walk upright? How often they lose their balance and fall back on their behinds? But they always get up and try it again and again, until the day comes that they’re capable of walking without any difficulties, right?

Starts by doing something you’re afraid of and abandon your fears. Get lost in action and put your heart into it, just imagine somebody is pointing a loaded pistol at your head. It’s a matter of life and death, if you succeed it’ll mean living; if you fail, it’s the bullet you’ll get. If you ever get trapped in a similar situation, try your best. So let think constantly of that loaded pistol pointing at us. At first, you too might lose your balance and fall like the child, but practice make permanent and perfect as well, You’ll succeed too in everything if you just try hard enough and long enough.

It’s an undeniable fact that everything you know today, you know because you have learnt it by trying and practicing it time after time. Nobody was born knowing how to read and write, or ride a bicycle. Every person who drives a car, has learnt it somewhere. It’s during the practicing period, only while trying, you learn to overcome your fear.

Life can be very pleasurable and exciting journey, but only if you succeed in overcoming your fears. Always remember there is nothing to fear, but fear itself.
