Fear is a very strong and real emotion. The emotion is real which is what we react to, but whatever it is we fear is usually not. The fear we feel comes from the negative thoughts and ideas playing in our minds that haven’t happened yet. The fear of failing, the fear of not being good enough, the fear of criticism, whatever it is, by becoming aware and realizing the source of our excuses, can help us to overcome those fears. We overcome our fears by facing them. It’s only when we face them that we can learn to react to the real challenges that come our way. What you will discover by facing those fears and overcoming them, is an increase in confidence that will give you the edge to believe in yourself to keep moving forward. One of the ways to help us to overcome our fears is to understand ahead of time that failure is inevitable on our journey for success and that when failure does come, we don’t dwell on it and beat ourselves up over it. Learn from the lesson and move on! Another is to remember and think about things we were successful with in the past, no matter how small. We also need to make a conscious effort to stop our inner critic from bringing us down and replace it with positive, uplifting self talk. It’s what we tell ourselves on a regular basis that will help us to keep a positive mental attitude!
You Need to Believe
There are many facets that need to come together on your journey to financial success and you’ll find that to believe in yourself is not only a crucial starting point for the journey, but also something you must continue to do throughout your journey. The fact is that you can never achieve success in any area of your life if you don’t believe in yourself.
It’s that belief in yourself that will keep you moving in the direction toward the vision you have of your future. Because without it, you may never even get started and once you do get started, you will need that belief to get you through the inevitable times of doubt and uncertainty you will experience along the way. The most successful people you can think of have moments of doubt.
“To believe in one’s self is to take a worthwhile risk.” ― Ogwo David Emenike
Even as you see them at the height of their success, there are times they have thoughts of doubt and uncertainty. So, it’s not just something you need to have to become successful, it’s something you need to have to continue to be successful. The more you believe in yourself, the more you’ll find success, which in turn will build confidence, causing you to believe in yourself even more.
Like an upward spiral they feed into each other until confidence and self-belief out-weigh doubt and uncertainty. It’s a never-ending process, but it all starts with believing in yourself. Always remember, that you grow and improve every time you overcome your fears and challenges, which will prepare you and take you to the next level to where you want to go!
