When was the last time you took a step outside of your
comfort zone? Fear is the number one reason why people
stay in their safety zones: fear of success and fear of failure.
Fear of Success
Many people have a fear of success. They see the ways in
which they'll disappoint people, the ways they won't be able
to handle success, they ways they'll mess up their success.
Most people aren't afraid of success, they're afraid of failing
after the success. They're afraid they can't handle it and
they'll fall much farther than if they hadn't tried at all.
Fear of Failure
The fear of failure isn't actually fear of failure at all - it's a
fear of criticism.
How Do You Conquer Fear?
You don't actually have to conquer fear; you have to master it!
As Mark Twain once said, "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery
of fear - not absence of fear." A part of it is doing something over
and over and showing yourself that you can do that thing. That
builds confidence and confidence is a tool against fear.
Everybody is afraid of something. The most successful people have
mastered fear with courage and learned to move forward.
