How to Let Go of Fear and Become UNSTOPPABLE
Fear is something that affects everyone at one time or another. If allowed to grow, it can derail your goals and destroy your success quicker than almost anything else. This is as true with motivated, passionate entrepreneurs like you as it is with anyone.
You might think my main job is teaching people how to make a video, but what I really do is listen to people. I find out what they want, what they need, and what holds them back from achieving their goals. And one of the things I’ve heard constantly from my workshop attendees is fear. They fear many things, and I’m sure you can relate. Do any of these fears sound familiar?
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of negative
- Fear of ridicule
- Fear of being ostracized from the group
And they’re not alone. Most of us suffer from extreme insecurity. We lack confidence, and it stops us from getting what we want, what we deserve, what we crave. It can cripple us from achieving our goals and our dreams.
To succeed in life, you need to let go of fear and become UNSTOPPABLE. And I want to share an analogy with you that helped me do that. It’s about the rain.
Then It Starts to Rain…
There are three people in this story, on this particular day when it starts to rain.
- The first person is a man who plays hooky from work. He’s just vegging out at home, not a care in the world. Then it starts to rain. The man casually glances out the window, and then goes back to watching TV. The rain barely registers with him.
- The second person is a bride on her wedding day, about to walk down the aisle to marry the man of her dreams. Then it starts to rain. She freaks out, distraught that this rain is going to ruin her perfect day.
- The third person is a farmer who needs a plentiful harvest this year; his financial survival depends on it. But it doesn’t look good; the drought is unremitting, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Then it starts to rain. He’s ecstatic, grateful. The rain just saved his life!
Now think about this for a minute. All three of these people experienced rain. But their interpretations of the event were very different. Depending on their reactions, it was a gift, a curse, or nothing at all.
You have a choice, in every minute of every day, how you want to react to an insult, criticism or rejection. You can take these events personally and let them hinder you, or you can shrug them off. After all, it's just the rain.
How Can I Serve?
And one more thing…the fear of not being perfect, not being good enough, not being smart enough, etc., is selfishness. It is a sign that you are being inwardly focused, that you’re concentrating more on yourself than you are on helping others.
What keeps me going in my business, what keeps me out there teaching a person how to make a video or showing them how I use YouTube to market my business, is that every moment in every day, I’m coming from a place of: HOW CAN I SERVE?
When I focus on reaching out to that one person watching my video who really needs my help, I don’t think of myself. Fear is impossible, and without fear, I AM UNSTOPPABLE.
And when you begin to shift your focus away from yourself to how you can serve others, your fears will disappear too, and you will be UNSTOPPABLE. Try it and see.
