How to Rise Above Your Fears and Achieve Success in Life
Fear can be paralyzing, but it doesn’t have to keep you from taking the first step. In fact, if you’re willing to change your perspective, focus on what truly makes you passionate and maintain a positive mindset, even the most terrifying of challenges can be overcome.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Perspective
- Passion
- Positive Mindset
- Prayer
Perspective
Perspective is the way you perceive and interpret the world around you. It’s how you see things, and it shapes how we respond to them.
Your perspective influences how much fear holds sway over your life, because it determines how much control or influence fear has over your choices and decisions. A lack of perspective leaves us feeling helpless and vulnerable; with too much focus on what could go wrong, we become paralyzed by worry–and sometimes even paralyzed by inaction! But when we have a proper understanding of our situation, then we can make informed decisions that are better suited for achieving success than if we were blindsided by fear or anxiety (or both).
A good example would be when someone feels anxious about speaking in front of an audience–but then realizes that everyone else has those same feelings! That realization helps alleviate some pressure off himself/herself because he/she’ll know what’s going on inside other people who also suffer from stage fright: The speaker realizes there’s nothing abnormal about being nervous before giving presentations; rather than trying hard not to think about anything related to speaking on stage…which just makes things worse!
Passion
What is passion?
Passion is an intense emotion that you feel when you’re doing something that matters to you.
It can be hard to define, but it’s easy to recognize when it’s there: You’re energized by what you do, and the world feels like a better place because of it. Passion fuels creativity and innovation–and when those two things combine with purpose (more on that later), they create something truly amazing!
How can I find my passion?
Think back on what makes your heart sing: What are some of your favorite memories from childhood? Were they spent playing sports or making art in school? Whatever your passions are, it’s important to incorporate your passions in your life to help you find your purpose. You don’t have to do all of them, but it’s a good idea to try at least one or two.
Positive Mindset
Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can change your life. It’s not just a mindset, but an actual skill that can help you overcome fear and take action in your life and business.
A positive mindset keeps you focused on what’s good in your life and helps you see opportunities for growth and improvement. You can develop a positive mindset by practicing gratitude, meditation, visualization, and affirmations.
Prayer
Prayer is a way to connect with God and express gratitude for his many blessings. When we pray, it leads us to ask for guidance and help, but it also allows us to grow closer to our Heavenly Father through the intimate conversations we have with him.
If you’re not sure how to pray, start with this simple prayer: “Heavenly Father, I love you because you are good.” Then continue by expressing your gratitude for all that he has done in your life and asking him for what you need at this time.
It’s human nature to feel fear
We all have fear. It’s human nature, but it doesn’t have to hold us back from achieving our dreams and reaching our full potential. By using the 4 Ps–perspective, passion, positive mindset and prayer–you can rise above your fears and achieve success in life! Something else that will help you, is my upcoming Journal titled, “Ignite Your Light” a daily prayer-mindset journal to help you through difficult seasons, connect with God, and take action in your daily life. More information will be coming soon, but until then, change your perspective, create space for your passions, have a positive mindset and practice daily prayer. I’ll see ya next time.
