Fear is a Paper Tiger

Fear is a Paper Tiger

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest

is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tiger, you

can do anything you decide to do.”

Amelia Earhart, American Aviation Pioneer   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Fear is a paper tiger

A person with fear in their heart derails their success journey . . . and kills their career.

No matter if it’s the fear of the unknown . . . .  the fear of failure . . . . or the fear to take action fear paralyzes a person into inaction. That fear prevents a person from taking the actions required to succeed. It will also greatly hinder a person’s ability to be successful in almost any endeavor.

When you make a decision to act . . . . you will dissolve any fear that you have . . . . Once you act you find that your fears will melt away quickly with your actions.

Once you make the decision to act you find that you can do anything that you decide to do . . . . and believe you can do.

Fear is a paper tiger . . . . and the silent killer of careers . . . . and will derail your success . . . . and will move you into inaction . . . . and a lifetime of “I can’t.” Take the actions to move the fear out of your life. Move forward into the future with a “I can do it” attitude . . . . and the “I will zone”  and you will find yourself accomplishing amazing things.

Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

 Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

“We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of

discipline or the pain of regret. The difference

is discipline weights ounces while

regret weights tons.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Self-Author and Motivational Speaker

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success and inaction both come with a price.

Inaction is making the decision to procrastinate . . . . the price of procrastination is paid over a life time.

Procrastination is making a choice . . . . the choice that is made is the choice of inaction which is to take the action is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous and is carried forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that we did not do and in the lost opportunities.

Taking action to succeed . . . . takes self-confidence in your decision making and in your abilities. You also have to have the mental discipline to take calculated risks . . . . and to make choices.

In taking action some of your choice will create breakthrough opportunities in your life. While others may have very little impact on your success journey, and there will be those that you would like to forget. 

Failing to take action subordinates the action to someone else to make the decision for you. You will lose the ability to make your own choices and to choose your actions.

When it’s time to take action . . . . you have to step up . . . . and take the best actions possible in the conditions that we find yourself in.

                 

The pain of regret for your inaction is carried forward . . . . and can become emotionally draining.

The discipline of making choices and taking action has a price. But there is peace of mind that you’re in control of your choices . . . . your actions . . . . and your future.

Success and inaction both come with a price . . . . you pay for your success in advance. You paid for your inaction over a life time.

The Key is to Let Go of Fear

Motivational Power Quote

The Key is to Let Go of Fear

“The key to change . . . is to let go of fear.”

Roseanne Cash, singer - songwriter  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The key is to let go of fear

A person can freeze at the thoughts of acting . . . .

Rather than taking action and trying, they fall back into the safety net of their comfort zone and elect not act out of fear.

A person’s fear can trap them into inaction . . . .and paralyze a person’s forward progress.

Fear is an inter voice that hinders a persons thinking . . . . and freezes them into a downward spiral of uncertainty and a lack of confidence. 

There are many things that can cause fear to creep into our life.

When fear creeps into your life you have to take control of the fear and take the steps to successfully remove the fear from your thinking.

1.     Find a positive person to mentor you . . . .and to help you to focus on moving forward one step at the time.

Motivational Power Quote

The Right Time . . . . Is Right Now

“While we are postponing life speeds by.”

Seneca 3 BC – 65 AD

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The right time . . . . Is right now

There is never just the right time to start or to grasp opportunity . . . . but the right time . . . . Is right now and . . . . the best time is now.

A journey that’s not started has no defined vision, no path to follow and no destination to aim for. That person lives in “someday I’ll” and is headed in the direction of “maybe I will someday.”

There is no time that’s just right . . . . to get married.

There is no time that’s just right . . . . to start a family.

There in no time that’s just right . . . . to buy a new home.

There is no time that’s just right . . . . to change a job.

There is no time that’s just right . . . . to follow your dream.

There is no time that’s just right . . . . to start you success journey.

There is no time that’s just right . . . . to open the door of opportunity.

But there is a best time to start . . . .and that time is now.

If you hear yourself saying . . . .

If only . . . .

I just need . . . .

It’s not the right time . . . .

I’ll start as soon as . . . .

I’ll wait until . . . .

What you’re doing . . . . is making excuses to yourself for not taking action. Not because the time is not right it’s because . . . . you’re trying to justify that decision to yourself for your inaction. 

The world won’t stop . . . . and wait for you to get on. You either get started or you are left behind. The person of inaction that doesn’t get started . . . . will find that the world will pass them by without looking back.

There will never be just the right time . . . . but best time and that time is now.

Stop postponing your life . . . . today is the day to start a new life.

No matter where are today . . . . you can make the decision that you had enough of the some old some old. This is the best time for you to bring change into your life and create a new direction for your success journey.

Start to do the things that will create the future that brings your dreams within your reach.

Stop postponing living . . . . and start living the life that you where meant to lead. Stop the procrastination; start to take the actions that will change your world and fulfill your dreams and the time to start is now.  

Step into your future with passion and . . . . The right time . . . . Is right now.

Fear Become a Life Sentence of Inaction

Motivational Power Quote

Fear Become a Life Sentence of Inaction

“The fear is worse than the pain.”

Shannon Bahr, forward thinker

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Fear becomes a life sentence of inaction. . . .

Fear becomes a life sentence of inaction . . . . and frustration following a winding path with no destination when we allow fear to control our life.

Fear disables the person into inaction.

The person that lives in fear dies a thousand deaths without making any forward progress in their lives.

Living in fear is like many things in our life . . . . what we do about fear is a choice . . . . we can surrender to fear or we can address it and find a to remove it and to get past it.

Fear can be best defined as false evidence appearing real. That allowed to grow will freeze a person and distort their t decision making and consume their life.

It takes courage to acknowledge your fears exist and to take the steps to eliminate them. But once you step out of the shadows of your fear they will begin to melt away.

Fear is a life sentence of inaction. . . . until take the first step to eliminate them. Take that step today and you’re on the pathway of removing them and feeling a weight being lifted from your shoulders.

The Law Action and Consequence

Motivational Power Quote

The Law Action and Consequence

“It’s easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge

the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.”

Anonymous

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The law of action and consequence

For every action that we take there is a consequence.

The person that pursues their dreams with passion and determined action will find that their dreams become a reality.

The person that waits to see what comes along will find that their life is passing them by with very little or no direction.

When you take responsibility for your actions and your results you take control of your life, your results and your success.

The person that believes that they are not responsible for their actions or results loses their objectivity and control of their life.   They will blame other people when their results are less then satisfactory and are destined to live a life of frustration. Other people will control your life and the direction that your life takes. 

All of your actions or inactions have a consequence. Successful people create the habit of choosing the actions that will move them closer to their goals and contribute to their success.

The law and action and consequence . . . . The actions that you sow will return you. Take the actions that will advance your career and your actions will put your goals within your reach.

Finish What You Start

Motivational Power Quote

Finish What You Start

“Much of the stress that people

feel doesn’t come from having

too much to do.

It come from not finishing

what they started.”

David Allen, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .
Finish what you start


Reduce your stress . . . . Finish what you start.


When we start a project and leave it unfinished we create anxiety. That anxiety will grow under the weight of unfinished work and will create stress.


The weight of that stress feels like we’ve mentally carrying 100 pounds of excess baggage around with us every minute of the day. As the weight of that baggage continues to grow will become both physically and mentally exhausted to the point to where we can’t successfully function.


Stress causes sleepless nights, worry, inaction and poor decisions. Under stress we not longer function effectively and our thinking becomes distorted to the point where we are not longer productive.


Finish what you start and the stress will evaporate.

Fears Are Hurdles To Be Overcome

Motivational Power Quote

Fears Are Hurdles To Be Overcome

“Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.

Courage is not the absence of fear,

but the conquering of it.”

Dan Millman, author, university coach

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Fears are hurdles to be overcome

Fear is the quite voice that’s inside us that produces apprehension and at other times can cause flat out panic in our thinking. Fear can paralyze a person into inaction.

Fear is an obstacle that we have to conquer or fear will box us in to negative thinking and inaction. Don’t let your fears box you in and control your life, take control of your fears and you will control your future and your life.

Have the courage to look fear in the eye, put it in prospective and find a way to remove the hurdle from your life and to move on.

Fears are hurdles to be overcome and put behind us as we move forward on our success journey.

When Faced With a Choice Make It

Motivational Power Quote

When Faced With a Choice Make It

“When you have to make a choice
and don’t make it,

that is in itself a choice.”

Williams James, America philosopher

As I see it. . . . . . . .


When faced with a choice make it.


Delaying a choice becomes a choice of procrastination.


Making no choice becomes a choice of inaction.


Both procrastination and inaction are choices; they are choices that lead to frustration and will minimize our ability to succeed.


Make the tough choices first; when we do we relieve ourself of stress and tension and the small choices seem to melt away.


When you make your choices, you remove unneeded baggage and move forward with confidence.
