Do you feel held back?

Has fear started to control your actions?

Many people want to know what the alternative to fear is. Before I give you an answer to that I think we have to realize that fear needs to be looked at differently depending on the circumstances. If you were asked to walk a tight-rope over Niagara Falls and had never done that before, the fear you feel is very authentic. Your fear is telling you not do it as it may cause death. But for the majority of us fear is nothing more than apprehension. This apprehension is nothing more that a feeling of uneasiness. In fact many years ago I created an acronym for the word fear. Fear is a ‘funny emotion arresting results’. Yes the only thing that this fear is doing is stopping you from taking action and getting any sort of a result.

So what is the alternative? Get out there and do more things that will lead you in the direction of your dreams. Want to get better at business? Get out there and start talking to people about their business. Want to become a better public speaker? Get out there and start asking people to speak to their business or organization.

What can you do today that will lead you in the direction of your dreams?
