We have the sequence to success in life all wrong. Let me see if I can explain. You see, we don't achieve success, because we are afraid of taking risks. We are afraid of taking risks because we are afraid of failure. We are afraid of failure because we are afraid of what people might think. We are afraid of what people might think because we lack self-confidence. All this leads to more low self-esteem and further erodes our chances of success. nnSo...No success = Fear of taking risks-caused by-Fear of failure-caused by-Fear of rejection -caused by lack of self-confidence. The Success formula is actually reversed. Its more like this....You have extreme self-confidence so your'e not afraid of what people might think.This makes you not afraid of failing. Since your'e not afraid of failing, then your'e also not afraid of taking risks. This ultimately leads to success in any mission you undertake. This also boosts your self-esteem further. nnHeres the Formula= High Self-esteem-leads to-Not being afraid of what others think-this leads to-Not being afraid of failure-which leads to-Not being afraid of taking risks, ultimately leading to SUCCESS! "Its alright to be afraid. Fear is not absent in the lives of successful people, they have learned how to step forward in spite of it" says Peggy Mcoll . When you feel fear, remember the expression "It is better to step forward into growth than to step back into safety" Work on your self esteem through being aware, through repeated affirmations. As for what others might think...remember statistics show that 95% of people don't think. They just have pre-formed opinions, usually other peoples opinions. So worrying about what they think is a waste of your time. It keeps you from accomplishing your goals. nnnYou can be successful at anything you choose...you just have to work on your self esteem, bust through the fear and then work diligently on your goals. Remember opportunities are always coming at you...you have to keep your eyes and mind open to recognize them. Stop Chasing Freedom....attract it nnn nAttract Freedom
