Fear is The Biggest Obstacle in Life...

"Fear is The Biggest Obstacle in Life"
For these reasons, I always say that fear is the biggest obstacle in your life - not your financial situation, your upbringing, your daily nine-to-five grind................And your fears are generally unfolded........
Think about what l have just stated when you take the time to analyze what you have done in the past to help your success and what have you done to hinder it. You will recognize changes you could have made and steps you could have taken to make your life more remarkable.
But l have something to share with you and l am firm on this demand: You need to stop dwelling in the past. Otherwise you will never make full use of your great potential that we all have within our self.............
You need to focus your mind and actions on the future, in order to move forward you need to look at your past, "BUT" At be lament about past failures or any aspect of your past. So have a good look at your life in a very objective way and determine what you can do right away to start making positive changes.....
My mind is working over time, l was thinking about this all day today and then l decided to write about it. I had few members at work and l was listening to them when l came up with this after hearing all they had to say......
I told them that the pass is something that you will never change but the only thing you could do from the past is learn from it.......I used some of my failures and told them what l was going through they just looked at me................See it works and l walked away................

l look forward to having you on my team

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can.

just want my account deleted
The best words I have come across to address FEAR:
“Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them, they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.†- Orison Swett Marden
The next time you feel fear creeping in, take a second look, zero in on it. Works for me every time!

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.
Maybe some of your fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers.
Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.
Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions.
Fear can destroy fortunes.
Fear can destroy relation

There's not much I can add, I think it's all been said! Something my Dad always said comes back to me though... "I wouldn't take a million dollars for where I've been and what I've seen..... and I wouldn't give a plug nickle for anymore of it either!"

Yeah...
But, when you look across the table
at the folks who've been through it and
you notice that they're still around and doing well,
you've got to know that it had to be scary
for them at first too.
Right?

Hey Gang.
I was in the midst of treading in unfamiliar territory
when I decided to write and market my ebook.
Then I remembered something that I went through
when I joined the Army and struggled through basic training
years ago.
When I started...it was frightening.
Halfway through...It became an adventure.
When it was over...I missed it.
It's always a fearful experience in the beginning.
Go figure.

Well said, Joseph. Fear will hold a person back every time. It's not easy letting go either. But if one takes little steps everyday to eliminate that fear, why there's no telling what can be accomplished.
