Overcoming Fear, Will You Take the First Step?
Just how much does fear limit what we think we can do? I’d guess it’s the number one reason so many of us have said, “I’ll start that business – someday”. It has nothing to do with preparedness, it’s a fear of the unknown, fear of change, and ultimately fear of failing that keep so many people on the sidelines of their life.
Today I’m happy to have a young man named Josten, who blogs at Positivewayoflife.com, share his thoughts on overcoming fear.
Overcoming Fear Has Everything to do With You
If you are wondering how to overcome fear it is not that hard to do. I’ve overcame many different types of fears. Fear of failing, fear of not being as good as the next person. Mainly any type of fear you can think of.
My fear first came when I was younger trying to live up to standards I believed where set for me. So as anyone would do i started to try and live up to them. By doing what I believed was right.
As I got older I had came across skateboarding which I fell in love with instantly. Everyday doing that I truly found that I had no need to be filled with fear. Doing what I enjoyed doing each day and not what my parents wanted. By no means am I saying doing things which your parents do not want you to do is right.
I broke the fear cycle at another level by changing my attitude. Daily I look at the positive to circumstances. I read self improvement books, watch videos, and listen to audio as well.
You cannot overcome fear unless you are willing to take the first step to doing something you are afraid of doing. Stop living in your little bubble that you’ve created. Pop the bubble and live the life you’ve always dreamed of. Stop doing what you hate and do what you love there is no excuse.
yours truly,
Josten Dooley
