Overcoming Fear By Facing The Two Faces of Fear
Overcoming fear you only have two choices and those above are the only two choices, most everyone will find the challenge of fear several times in their life.
How those people react will be the determinant as to what type and quality of life they will lead.
What will determine how those people will react is dependent upon how bad they want the prize they get when they "Face Everything and Rise"!
Example:
Growing up I wanted to be a Disk Jockey extremely bad. When I grew up I had my chance, I worked hard at getting my license to become a disk-jockey. Then came the first real radio station job.
I was told to come in for the morning show to watch and learn how to run the board and learn a few things for a couple of hours.
Then later that night (what would be my shift), I would come back and learn the rest. What you must realize here is that Radio is a very competitive business. This holds even more true for the DJ's working there.
When someone new is hired they are looked at with suspicion as the old jocks think they are there to replace them. Jealousy, I believe started at a radio station. Anyway back to my night of horror...
The jock training me would start his or her shift at 7:00 pm. Five minutes til seven the world news came on and ran for 5 minutes. The jock working left saying the next jock would be there shortly so; I wasn't worried since I was assured someone one was supposed to be there to train me...
To shorten this; the evening jock didn't show. I was left with a 50,000 watt radio station located just outside of Ft. Worth Texas with over 30,000 plus listeners expecting music.
NO PRESSURE THERE HUH?
I had a total of about 3 minutes to decide if I was going to run or...
Face Everything And Rise.
Twenty years later I was still working as a Disk Jockey and loved my career all because my dream was bigger than my fear of failing or messing up...(and mess up I did many times that night and at times for the next 20 years).
Are you looking at your computer screen and know in your heart you want to earn your living on line but your afraid to fail, afraid to mess up?
The only way you fail or mess up is when you don't try!
Do you want freedom, big homes, cars or maybe just to be home when your children need you but, you're afraid to try because you might fail?
If you don't try you have already failed; if you try you NEVER fail.
What if YOU only had 3 Minutes to decide?
Run or Rise? Those that want to rise...
You are the greatest and you deserve to be happy!
