Make Fear Your Driving Force To Success

Everyone experiences fear. But how we deal with it is a very personal thing. Jumping in a pool of sharks would strike fear in most people. Then again there are the percentage of daredevils that find the courage to take the plunge and swim with the amazing beasts.
Risky? Yes!
Stupid? That is a personal opinion by an individual.
The point is, there is a relative amount of fear involved in the action, it is how you deal with the fear that results in the action taken.
Fear can be a crippling thing to many people. No matter how much they want to do something, they just can't take the first step. It's a common problem.
What you need to do is look at fear from a different angle. Use it as a weapon to your success. Rather than a weapon of your own defeat.
Anything new or different can be scary. That's normal. But if the fear of change takes hold and prevents us from moving forward, we can find ourselves stuck in one place.
The name of this 'place' is the 'comfort zone'.
If you want more for your life, if you are reading this because you're looking for self-improvement and personal development then it's time to get out of that comfort zone.

Where so many people get lost though, is it is easy to say, but taking the action to do it requires courage, and that's when fear can strike.
Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of the unknown.
Learn to make that fear the driving force to success and your life will change dramatically.
We all know the saying "actions speak louder than words". This is one example of how to help combat those fears.

Constantly talking about something can often add to the fear. Because the more we think about it, the more reasons not to go ahead we can create.
A paratrooper will tell you, that the greatest amount of fear is in the plane before you jump. But once you're out of the plane, the rush of excitement of the amazing experience takes over and you forget all about the fear you had back in the plane. And once you're on the ground how do you feel?
FANTASTIC because YOU DID IT!
Fear was your driving force to success.
If you learn to harness the fear and use the energy from it to succeed and not to hold you back, you will succeed at anything you put your mind to.
Courage, determination, belief and a positive attitude will give you success in anything you want to do. Don't allow fear to keep you in your comfort zone.

Learning to deal with fear takes courage! Sound strange? maybe, but it's true. And it is how I look at a situation when I am moving out of the 'comfort zone'. And the most important lesson I learnt was this - When the fear of staying the same is greater than the fear of change, fear does become your driving force to success. I discovered that personal growth is about so much more than just improving yourself. It's about helping others succeed. Taking the first step is always the hardest, but the more steps you take the better it gets.
