Don, stretch your imagination and vision and allow yourself to face fear head on. For just a few minutes, dare to do something silly, different or out of the ordinary. Does fear hold value to you? Is fear getting in your way or challenging you to achieve your goals? There is a lack of value in fear.
Fear is a stumbling block allowing us to choose a detour; if you don’t it becomes the end of the road with nowhere to go.
What if you dance in the rain? Ask yourself, what is the worst that could happen for having done it?
Will people judge you? So what? Will you get wet? So what? Will you feel silly? Great. Will you sing and dance in the middle of Time Square or Grand Central Station? Overcome fear through desire and action.
Totally out of character for you, so what? Experience change. Fear it or face it and overcome it forever, you choose.
You chose to defend the environment and reduce toxic carbon emissions. You chose to offer green collar income opportunities to those that want them. You know you have the support of a strong team and have no valid excuses. You are a superstar getting ready to explode and shine your light on the world. What fear resides in these convictions? What value does it bring to you or to those you are sharing it with? Tons. Don’t cheat them out of the knowledge.
Avoid the preconceived conclusions unless they are positive. You expect them to reject you; hence, they will indeed reject you. When you expect them to be quite delighted at the information, they will be.
You set the stage for the results, every time. You bring about what you think about. Compliment someone and walk away without expecting a response. Check this out; it is contagious, watch the video for one example.
