Fear is Your Limitation

This is so true, a great look at one of the main things that stops us achieving our dreams, the rest of the article can be found at http://dennisharting.blogspot.com/2009/01/no-fear.html



How differently would your life be if fear did not exist? Or better yet, have you ever seen those people who were not scared of anything? They seem willing to try anything. There is not a person who they would not go and talk to. Everything appears to come easy to them. They are always surrounded by a group of people. My, how we look at them with envy.

The question is "are they really any different from you?". In most ways, no. However, there is one facet that separates them from you: fear makes your decisions. That is it. You continually give in to the fear while others walk though it.

For the most part, fear is a figment of your imagination. There are those situations where it is an ally where one is physically in danger. Nevertheless, few of us face life or death circumstances on a daily basis. In reality, fear is a creation of our mind meant to avoid change. The mind abhors uncertainty. If it can maintain the status quo, that provides a level of certainty. Taking action means there is a degree of uncertainty over the results that will be gotten. This is what the minds seeks to avoid.

Failures

Do not be afraid of failures, they are the lessons you need to learn for success

Success and Motivation

I did it too. I drove by big houses and would wonder who lived there. What did they do for a living? How did they make their money? Someday, I would tell myself, I would live in a house like that. Every weekend I would do it.

I read books about successful people. In fact, I read every book or magazine I could get my hands on. I would tell myself 1 good idea would pay for the book and could make the difference between me making it or not.

I worked jobs I didn’t like. I worked jobs I loved, but had no chance of being a career. I worked jobs that barely paid the rent. I had so many jobs my parents wondered if I would be stable. Most of them aren’t on my resume anymore because I was there so short a time or they were so stupid I was embarrassed. You don’t want to write about selling powdered milk or selling franchises for TV repair shops. In every job, I would justify it in my mind whether I loved it or hated it that I was getting paid to learn and every experience would be of value when I figured out what I wanted to do when I grew up.

How Committed Are You?

This is an extremely important question. Your level of commitment will determine how much success you enjoy. It dictates the actions that you are willing to take. Commitment creates the motivation and incentive to forge ahead. We wrote down some goals for the New Year a couple of weeks back. How committed are you to achieving them?

When people are fully committed to something, they can achieve incredible results. Superhuman feats are accomplished if the desire is great enough. Have you ever seen the videos of a woman who miraculously saves a child who is trapped underneath a car? A woman who weight 110 pounds has no business picking up something that heavy. Nevertheless, her level of commitment is really high at that moment. This provides her with the adrenaline rush necessary to pull off this feat.

Dealing With Stress Before Stress Deals With You

Dealing With Stress Before Stress Deals With You



There’s a shockingly disturbing trend I’m seeing in e-mail, on blogs, and in the news. More and more people are suffering from:

* Anxiety and Anxiety Attacks
* Heart Problems
* Stress
* Sleeplessness

These, when they take a nasty turn, can lead to further health problems, relationship problems, financial setbacks, and a general loss in quality of life. At least, in most of the cases I’ve seen, most people are actively trying to make themselves better by making necessary changes. But as Daisee points out, change is hard - sometimes really, really hard!

CupWhen it comes to oversimplifying things, I’m so guilty I should be locked up for life. I’m well aware of that. But having acknowledged the fact, I still have to say that I think the answers to these problems are often within our own power. It’s sort of like me this morning. I woke up at 3:15 dying for a drink. I knew I’d left a cup in the bathroom adjacent to our bedroom. With eyes barely open, somehow I managed to turn the water on. Then my only problem was, “Where’d that darn cup go?” I felt around on the counter in the dark with my left hand, then it occured to me - the cup was in my right hand. I must have absentmindedly picked it up before turning the water on.

Victims

Unlike the previous article, this one is easy to find, easy to read and understand and best of all, when you read it, you can identify, you think to yourself, " Hey I know someone like that, wow that is so true " I hope you enjoy it and can use it to help improve your life as I am trying to

People love to play the victim. This absolves them of any personal responsibility. It also provides for an excuse as to why one did not succeed. After all, it was because of (fill in the blank).

Being a victim is a way to ensure you will never be successful. Always reaching for an alibi becomes a habit that will eventually stifle action. Take a look at the most successful people and tell me how many claim victimization. You will find this is not a common trait among this group of people.
