| | Fear has a funny way of working. Do you remember while in college, the looming feeling of a final? You probably felt unprepared and unsure about what the professor would put on your test. Each night and hour before the test was a horrible feeling. You kept questioning yourself and wondering if you could do it. The night before is the worst. You get all worked up and probably can't sleep; wondering if you did studied enough. Fear has you wrapped up in it's hand.
But what happened when the test finally came? You wrote down your name, shut your mouth, and turned the page to start. Fear is all of a sudden gone during those few hours of the final. Even when you finish, you'll probably worry about whether you did well or not, but it's no longer the same. It's done and it's in the past. The important thing to realize is, when the test finally came, what happened? You probably weren't focused on what you know or didn't know. You only wanted to do the best on your test and get it over with. During those few hours, you were no longer thinking about whether or not you could pass. You were no longer scared. You only wanted to take care of it and move on with your life.
The same goes with anything else in life. The fear of leaving a comfort zone is the worst. It's like when a landlord has to find a new tenant. The time frame just before hitting the end of the month is scary if you haven't had any leads. But once the new month hits and money is now being lost, the landlord stops thinking about losing money, it's already happening. He's got 100% focus on finding that tenant, and usually....the tenant comes rather quick.
The point is, don't let fear overtake you. Worrying about it doesn't do anything for you. Whatever it is that you fear, once it sets in, you'll realize how strong you really are. If you focus only on finding the solution, you know that deep down inside you won't let yourself fail.
