One of the most common killers of success is fear. Do you know what fear is? Fear actually stands for False Emotion Appearing Real. What you fear is actually not the real thing, it is the fear that you create in your mind.
Before you go on stage to do a presentation, can you feel the fear? Most people will because of the thoughts they think in their mind. They fear that what if they cannot deliver the presentation perfectly? What if things go wrong? What if people laugh at them?
All the fears that you feel are just within you. In other words, you created the fear in your mind. They are not even real, they are just thoughts. It is your mind that makes them real and hence, you feel the fear.
On the other hand, if you feel confidence and are ready to take on the world, what will you feel? You will feel motivated to deliver the presentation. And guess what, you will end up doing great.
Fear is something that you created in your mind. It never exists, but your mind makes it real. It is just like you know you have to start a business or invest in real estate if you want to be rich, but you fear that you are going to lose your money. Therefore, the fear prevents you from investing or starting a business.
Always remember this, you will have to feel the fear and do it anyway. The best way to overcome fear is preparation. The reason you feel the fear is that you are uncertain about something. For example, if you fear about making a presentation, it is because you are uncertain about the results, you doubt yourself.
However, if you are fully prepared and you have done it hundreds of times, do you think you will still feel the fear? The answer is obvious.
