Four ways to overcome fear

First of all Merry Christmas to all of you!

We’ve recently discussed, how to react to failures. But sometime fear prevents us from act. Remember our previous post “Act Now”, here I’m going to discuss how to overcome fear.

One of the important trait of Self Confidence and successful person, is that they face their fear, and act. Fear is very normal, everybody is afraid of fear, including me. Fear is the enemy of the Self Confidence. The biggest fear is the fear of failure. And action is the only thing that cures the fear.

Here are the four ways to overcome fear.

1. Figure out what you’re afraid of. Once you identify the reason of fear, you’re well on the way to overcome it.
2. Admit the Fear. Its normal, and its okay to be afraid. The common definition of Courage, is the ability to feel fear, and still do what you need to do.
3. Accept your fear. Accepting your fear is important, because it shows, that you know you’re afraid. And hence, you can act on it.
4. Take Action. Action is the anti dot to the fear. And action is the most important from this four steps.

Remember that, the greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time you fail.

Lets Celebrate Failures

We had a positive discussion on Failures with one of my friend, Arun.  I think it would be nice to share it with all you guys.

Everybody has failures in the life. Its very common. And for the people who are entrepreneurs or those who have made their careers in sales, failures happens as often as anything else.

Most of us fear facing the failures. But, if you start celebrating your failures, you’ll be able to forget failures, and gathers the strength for facing the next.

So from next time, if you fail, celebrate it, and get ready for your next opportunity. I’m sure you’ll grab it.

Conviction - a key to success

The very first step in climbing the ladder of success is firm conviction about one's own ability.

People are afraid of accepting challenges and responsibilities because they doubt their capacity to perform well; they underestimate themselves and loose wonderful opportunities in life.

For most of us, its fear of failure which stops us from taking action. We really don't want to take a "risk of failure".

If that's preventing you from achieving your dream, then my advise is that... Do not Fear from failure. And build a self confidence about your ability. Say with a confidence that you can do it. Never doubt your inner strength. You may not be aware at present, but believe that infinite power is lodged within you and will come out with all its glory when you sincerely call upon it by way of positive attitude.

Swami Vivekananda said, "Never mind failures, they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these failures. What would life be without them? So never mind these failures, these little backsliding; hold on to the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times make the attempt once more".

Remember? Thomas Alva Edison, one of the greatest scientists, who made a series of inventions, had a great conviction in his capacity. He had made over thousand experiments before he succeeded in inventing the electric bulb!!!

So remember following:

• Believe in your inner strength & ability
• Never mind failures, make an attempt now, even if you fail, you'll learn lot from each failure
• Dare to take risk

ECHO of Life

Let me share with you one story I've receiving from one of my good friend, Naresh. You might have already come across this story... I'm trying to look at the other side of the coin. I wish to receive your comments about it...

 

"A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain. He screams, “Ahhhhh!”
Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain,”Ahhhhh!”
Filled with curiosity, he screams: “Who are you?”, but the only answer he receives is: “Who are you?”
This makes him angry, so he screams: “You are a coward!” and the voice answers: “You are coward!”
He looks at his father, asking. “Dad, what is going on?”
“Son,” the man replies, “pay attention!” then he screams,” I admire you!”
The voice answers: “I admire you!”
The father shouts, “You are wonderful!” and the voice answers: “You are wonderful!”
The boy is surprised, but still can’t understand what is going on.
Then the father explains, “People call this ECHO, but truly it is ‘LIFE!’. Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love! If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want more understanding and respect, give more understanding and respect! If you want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect! This rule of nature applies to every aspects of loves.”
Life always gives you back what you give out.
Your life is not a coincidence, but a mirror of your own doings."

 

This small story attempts to answer our lot of question. When we don't know why this or that things are happening to us, we may look into our own actions taken sometime back, sometimes we may find corresponding events that explains about our current experiences. As said in Theory of Karma, we are the only responsible person, for whatever actions or inactions, for whatever we receive in return from our life or from others including God.

Our actions / inactions as well as our attitude towards others determine how other thinks about us and behaves with us. If we're good at others, others will be good with us. This is rightly said by this small story, that life is like a mirror. Whatever we give will ultimately comes back to us!!!

Do you agree with it?

Now, look at this.

We are good with others, and always want to help people, give lot of love, respect and whatever it takes to make life wonderful and a worthy place to enjoy life. But still, not all people we come into contact are good, and we receive lot of  hate, anger from such person. Such people always tries to make our life miserable, even after we're good & honest with them. This is true with strangers as well as for the relatives we may have contact with.

And this makes us very difficult to have same attitude towards all the people, because our attitude is a result of our experiences with people & situations. We may not receive love for love. Yes, life is not a coincidence, but to me, its also not a mirror of our own doings.

So how can you explain this?

Create a Circle of Positive Energy around Yourself

There has been some phenomena or a feeling which drags all our energy & makes us nervous. Some events or some people or even some news drains all our energy. Why does this happen to us?

I do not know why this happens.. but I'm sure this is very normal & all of us has experienced it one or more time through out our life.

Moreover, its reverse is also true, some events, some people or news or even just a thought also fills us with lot of positive energy that transforms us from deer to a lion.

These things are very natural & common that we haven't never concentrated on it, and never tried to make it to work for creating a circle of positive energy around us.

What I would like to suggest is, to believe in our strength, to have faith in our skills, and develop a confidence that no such negative event/people or news can hurt you anymore. Surround yourself with the people, news, events or thoughts with positive energy, and say no to all that stuff, people or events that are associated with negative energy.

Make Positive attitude your habit. We have the right to choice, and our life will be much better if we make the right choices.

Next time, whenever you are faced with negative feeling, make sure you make right choice of saying NO to all such negative stuff... and sometimes its even your consciousness, the self. Remember, we have discussed it in one of our pas blog on "We're our own worst enemies.."

These things are not easy, but with practice one can create an invincible circle of positive energy around him in long term.

Believe that nobody can make you feel nervous without your consent.

 

Please do write what you thing about it in comments... You can also discuss it in our community Positive Force on Orkut.

Act Now...

I have noticed few days back that we all are very lazy by our nature. When I say we, i mean all of us including me... we the humans at large.

When we've to face fear of failure, or in certain situation where we have to go out of our comfort zone, we tend to postpone our decisions or actions just to create a psychological bubble around us. This bubble protects us & at least gives us surety that there are few chances of success... even after we expect failure from such action.

This feelings makes us to postpone our decisions & actions to a uncertain amount of time, and then we suddenly realize that time has slipped out of our reach, and we can not now make our decisions or take our actions at all. In other words, we can say that, now we're 100% sure of failure even after our efforts. And therefore there is no wise in taking decisions or actions what we've thought earlier.

Our fear of failure has ultimately ended being true.

There is only one remedy we can take in such situations is to act. Make a habit of taking all your decisions and actions now. Make your mind such that there is no tomorrow for this action or this is our last day of life, and put all your efforts for this purpose.

Of course, it will not change occurrence of success or failure, but it will at least ensure that you have tried your best, you've act in time.. and even after failure, you are satisfied that you have put your best efforts to success.

This is the only short cut to success.. as after every failure you'll earn invaluable experience that will definitely help you in your life to succeed.

Take chance, take risk...

"If you fail to risk, you risk to fail...."

 

Please give your comments.. that will surely inspire me to share more with you....
