If there is anything that I can say that I fear the most, I would say that that one greatest fear would be failing. I have held back from doing so many things because I am simply afraid that it just won't work. When I was just getting out of High School, I really wanted to walk on to a Community College football program and give it a shot, but the fear of failure stopped me from trying out. I was a First team, All region and Second team, All State Defensive End. I was told I was too small. At 5'11'' and 175 pounds that was probably a reality at the time, but the real thing that held me back was my fear. I could have ate more, lifted more weights, gained weight and speed becoming a better player and possibly making the team. But fear of failing held me back from that goal, and a lack of willpower and drive.
I became more motivated later on in life and became a leader in the Construction Industry, but fear of being a success once a gain held me back. Leaders are all over the place, but great leaders people look up to and depend on. I simply could not bear the thought of becoming a better more productive person and having so many depend on me. So once again I let Fear take over my decision making and stand aside while others that were inferior to me take the jobs that were rightfully mine because I could not commit myself. I was scared i would fail them.
Before I lose you by telling you more things that I have done that have caused my quality of life not to be exactly as I I hoped and dreamed it would be let me ask you, What decisions have you made that were because Fear caused you to change your mind and take a different route in your life? If you can honestly say that you are exactly where you want to be and doing everything you want to do then God has truly blessed you and you should share with the world your secrets. But if you are like a lot of us that go to work every day and wish we had a better quality of life and see little future in your career then ask yourself why have you not changed that direction?
I became more focused on the inner workings of my thoughts and feelings as I struggled more with every day life and the meaning of it all. It seems that I had become so focused on the reasons that I was not a success was simply because of others and there holding me down that I refused to believe that maybe it was just me that was the problem. I could point the finger way easily at someone else than just say I messed up and need to change. Fear of accepting myself as a failure had taken over, continually it has caused me to stay on the same road of failure. Some people may call this pride or confidence, but when your energy is focused and your being closed minded and not looking inward to see if you really are who you think you are, then it's just plain ignorance and will continually hold you back. I saw this perfectly one day as someone gave me an example of a bird trying to get into a house because it sees the reflection and continually hits the same piece of glass until it eventually breaks its own neck and dies. If you continually fail doing the same thing over and over why do we continue to do the same things repeatedly. That's when it finally came to me and I went away from the main stream window and sought out something that I wanted.
I became a Coach because I know now that Fear is a big part of life. Many of the people I encounter every day are scared that what I am recommending for them is some sort of scam. There are so many out there that there is no way to count. But how many of those scams give you the option of 100% money back guarantee after you use up all the contents. How many of those companies have a grade A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. How many scams out there advertise over and over again the great results that people are achieving and you can actually talk with these people personally by contacting them via chat or by telephone. So I ask what is it that you are really scared of? Getting in the best shape of your life? Earning a 3 figure income while helping others do the same? Being a positive influence in your community and giving back by helping others? Or will you just let fear of what others may think of you by sharing with them something they may say "No" to? Does the fear of rejection hold you back?
I have chosen not to let Fear hold me back any longer. I will share my positive influence with my community, country, church whoever it takes to be a success in this business and in this life. At 37 years old now, I am starting a new life in which I will continue to grow, expand and unite with a team of people that will help me when I am down and lift me when I fall when I need it. I will begin to see every day the greatness that comes from helping others do what they think is impossible. I will do what I once thought was impossible and share with others how I did this. I will fear no longer becoming a success at everything I do. I know now that failure is only an opportunity in work clothes. I will work hard every day to be who I am destined to be. What will you do today? Why don't you join me?
