Overcoming Fear

Remember the 1st time you went to dive into a pool. It was a bit scary. Maybe from the side or off the diving board.

But you finally got to where it was just fun and didn't bother you. But then one day you were at a pool with a high dive? I mean on of those really high platforms way up there.

It was a whole new deal and scary all over again right?

Well Networking with people is like the high dive. You may just stand there and look down. You watch others jumping off and they are OK and having the fun you want. But you just can't make yourself do it.

Its no that you are not capable, or don't know how or that the others were talented or know something you don't; they just decided to do it. To them the gain was worth not listening to their fears. They knew the fear was to protect them from real dangers, but since they had seen that this was safe and others were doing it, they knew their fear was irrational and unfounded. So they decided not to listen to it or let it control them and their ability to make correct decisions.

There is no problem with the pool, or the high dive, or the weather, or the town you are in or anything outside of yourself. Fortunately the only problem is with you. This is good because if it were an outside factor you may not be able to change it. But since it is merely your fear holding you back from the excitement and freedom to enjoy what you want to do and have, you can change it. Many others have been bringing their friends to come jump off the high dive with them. And many more that you tell about your dive would love to come do the high dive too. They don't know about it yet and are waiting for you to come share the joy and excitement you got from it.

All you have to do is decide to talk to one person about your company or advertise on social media, blogs websites, banners and affiliate marketing or any other way to get the word out. Even passing out flyers where crowds gather.

There are no excuses, I don't know what to say, they can't afford it, they wont have time, they don't look like they will do it, they may not like me, they may get mad at me if they don't like it since I told them about it, right now they don't dislike me, so why risk doing something that may get them to dislike me, and all the rest a lies and judgments that you don't know for sure. There is no valid reason not to tell others.

It is purely fear, fear that there may be a few uncomfortable moments is what you let keep you uncomfortable the rest of your life. When you face up to reality that it is more uncomfortable to stay where you are, and have the future you are headed to, than the possibility of a few moments that may be uncomfortable; then you will trade your chronic current and future uncomfort for the freedom to face the fear of the unknown.

You will decide to not listen to your fear, and will finally be free to serve others and be the helpful person you would rally like to be. Your whole life will change as you regain judgment over your fears, knowing when to listen to them and when not to. So much anxiety, worry, depression, self uncertainty and pain will be replaced with joy, friends, a sense of self worth, and confidence. Life will be full of meaning and purpose as you no longer have to hide and play small, you will achieve great things and discover talents and creativity you never knew you had.

You will have many who now seek to follow and emulate you and sincerely love and appreciate you for having made such a change in their lives. You will be able to do whatever your calling, purpose and mission in this world is, unhindered now by that old fear and protective self limits and constraints you placed on yourself. All that you do will be done better and from a pure and open heart, feeling and enjoying the joys so deeply that they carry you through the difficult times. You will be more nurturing to your family and friends and be able to have quality friends who are going in this same growing direction. You will be free to speak about the things that really matter to you and share your burdens with others that accept you for who you are without false expectations and pressures to perform being put on you.

Your spirit will be free to play again and experience life rather than just go through it. You will be a light to shine into the darkness of others who will listen and raise them up out of hiding back into life. You will be a healer, a leader, a true servant and useful to your Creator. You will be open to learning and growing and finally see what others have been trying to help you see. You will be able to love and receive love maturely.
