LET YOUR FEAR BE YOUR FUEL





FEAR has been defined by some as False Evidence Appearing Real. The words that stand out are FALSE and APPEARANCE. Fear is a notion of what could happen. This could be based on past experiences or on lack of a proper analysis of a situation or general lack of information. Whatever the presumptions that underlie fear, it still is not REAL.

It is only an appearance, a seemliness of what could occur.

To begin Mastering  our fear we must define the outcome that we are willing to prevent. For instance the fear associated with an Exam is failing it. The fear associated with a new relationship is that it won't work out. The fear associated with a job interview is that we don't get the job.

When we define these underlying issues then we can take steps by using that fear as an information that we can convert into actionable steps.

The fear of failing the exam means we study very hard to ensure we are well prepared for it. Seeking clarity in subjects we don't understand from our tutors or course mates. The fear of a new relationship means we are careful in getting into one by chosing carefully and not just getting into one for the sake of it and doing everything we can to build the relationship setting aside our past experiences and not projecting it into the current relationship. When going for an interview we prepare for it, dress appropriately and ensure we are punctual and just give it our best.

There are no absolutes in life but letting our fear paralyse us is a quick fire way of missing out on all the beauty life has to give. In each fear we overcome lies an opportunity which would never be unwrapped if we refuse to act.

Let your fear inform you of the dangers ahead then you can prepare yourself to combat these dangers and achieve a most rewarding life.

Get up, address your fear and go to work!!!

Work Smarter, Not Harder: 21 Time Management Tips to Hack Productivity

Image
By  Jordan Bates   Synopsis “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr. A lot of folks in our society try to be hyper-productive. You know — the people who scurry from task to task, always checking e-mail, organizing something, making a call, running an errand, etc. The people who do this often subscribe to the idea that “staying busy” means you’re working hard and are going to be more successful. While this belief may be true to an extent, it often leads to mindless “productivity” — a constant need to do something and a tendency to waste time on menial tasks. Instead of behaving in this way, I choose to do things differently. Working Smarter, Not Harder The old adage, “work smarter, not harder” has become a staple in the way I go about work of an...

We Should Admire Success, Whether It’s Ours or Somebody Else’s by Paul June

Did someone change the dictionary and not bother to tell me? Methinks so, because “success” seems to have become a four-letter word overnight. When I was growing up (you know, back in the day when we had to walk 20 miles to school, uphill both ways), success was something to be admired, something to strive for. But now, success seems to be something to view with contempt and scorn, as though someone else’s success must have happened at the expense of your good fortune (or someone else’s). Sure, there are some bad apples out there, but the good outweigh the bad by far. Success should be celebrated, admired, honored.  Why?  When someone gets a bonus at work, or some other form of recognition, are you happy for him or her—even when you get no such recognition? Or do you become overwhelmed with the feeling of sour grapes  (or bananas) , wishing it was you in the spotlight? What about when a family member or friend is the center of attention at your latest gatherin...
