I have lost many prospects for the fear of letting them know that I have an option for them, I also have let some pass because once I passed the fear of letting them know I confront to the fear that the follow up brings. I hate follow ups! @#$%#@!&*?$#@ :D I learnt though, that beating up myself for that is not the option, so what I have done everytime I'm afraid of saying something I just give myself a big dose of self development. I have overcome fears to other hard stuff to do, this one should be one more. Fear is there to test our tools, fear is there to overcome it, period. Excellent comment Randy!

Somehow, somewhere along the way early in life I learned that if I didn't do something that I wanted to do I may regret it later. As a result, I've had many wonderful life experiences. But, when I saw the title of your article I read it because after an abusive marriage (verbal/emotional abuse) I developed panic disorder. Now THAT is true FEAR. That is completely immobilizing fear. I developed agoraphobia twice as a result and twice spent 3 months afraid to leave my home. After a decade my panic disorder was under control and I was panic free for 18 months until I moved to my current residence - an apartment - where there is so much noise during sleeping hours that my disrupted sleep has turned into the return of panic. I'm fighting it and I'm on extra medication. I'm trying to get out of my lease without penalty and even provided letters from my psychiatrist and one from my counselor supporting my need to move. The manager turned me down without even acknowledging the reason I need to move. I have to pay the penalty, two months rent. Now I'm about to appeal it to her manager. Oh, if only more people understood how life altering fear can be. The article is good and I absolutely LOVE the quote! Kudos! I’ve never been one to hold back on doing something.

I just started reading the book, "The 50th Law" by 50 Cent & Robert Greene - this is on the subject of letting fear stop you and hold you back. So far, it's a great book about breaking through your fear. I look forward to more discussion on this.

Usually when you explore the answers that came into your mind when asking this question you realize that noting extremely bad might happen. And thus the fear decrease...

I know that it's irrational; fear usually is. I realise that most people aren't busily watching me, they're too busy with their own dancing to even notice me and the ones that are are either admiring us or just watching to pass the time. I realise that my dancing skill suffers and so does my enjoyment. Time to just get over it!

Woody Hayes. Catherine Ponder says in her book, "The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity," that "when you realize that prosperity is your divine heritage, you should persist in claiming it." It is a "can-do" attitude. She says, "when discouragement overcomes you, when despair says, 'It can't be done, you'll never make it,' that is the time to review your plans, to write them out and revise them". This is what I need to do. I knew I needed to make another career change but I had not changed my plans. I still had some career goals that I had not changed or rewritten. Without trying to do my business, I was attracting people and their contact information without even asking for it. I think this was because I was still hanging on to that business. I needed to revise my plans to change my career direction. Catherine Ponder ls says to "Be prepared if success comes suddenly." Have plans for what you will do when success comes. I think she means to change our thinking & mindset. I have heard stories of people who win the lottery then they lose all their money. I also have heard stories of people who lost hundreds of pounds then gained all the weight back. I think they may not be prepared for success. I believe we need to change our mindset before we are successful. “Paralyze resistance with persistence.” Woody Hayes.

I feel by thinking through fear & then taking action, you can get out of this vicious cycle. Feel fear, do the action, see that you survived. When you do it enough, you see that you do in fact, survive each time - even if you get a No! This leads to self confidence that fear, thought may never leave you, doesn't stop you! Thanks for your enCOURAGEments!! Randy,
