Five fears which stop you

When you desire to change, take action, or improve yourself in any way, there are five fears which hold you back:

1. Fear of the unknown – this is why we do things the way we have always done them. We go to the same restaurants, eat the same foods, and never take safe risks. Practice going for the unknown by taking a different route, eating a different meal, going to a type of restaurant you have never been to, reading a magazine new to you….
2. Fear of failure – this pernicious fear stops more people from achievement than any other fear. Imagine if a child had a fear of failure when learning to walk….
   This fear also shows itself as fear of rejection . In order to have the fear of rejection you must care a huge amount about the outcome. A friend who wrote film scripts told me about his experience with acting.  He was taking acting classes so he could improve his writing.
   He had a great amount of fear of rejection about his writing and would not risk sending his scripts out, but as far as his acting was concerned he would go all out even though he knew his acting was not much good. He just was not bothered since he knew that he was taking the class purely as a way of improving his writing.
   He told me that he realized that is he had the same attitude of just going for it in his writing he would have been much more successful. At the same time he noticed that his fellow acting students who wanted to be actors would freeze and get anxious in scenes even though they were much, much better in acting.
   The difference was that they cared about acting, and he cared about writing. So if you go for it one hundred percent without caring about the result (the journey is the thing) you’ll overcome your fear of failure and rejection.
3. Fear of commitment – this produces lack of focus and concentration to a single goal.
4. Fear of disapproval – this is different from fear of rejection. An example is that in the bad old days people would continue smoking because when they would try to stop their smoking friends would tease them and offer them cigarettes.
5. Fear of success – thoughts like "If you are successful people will dislike you." Actually you don’t need friends like that. Good friends will share your victories with you and be happy for you.

Finally I want to tell you that FEAR stands for "False Evidence Appearing Real."
