This is the Biggest Thing Blocking You from Wealth and Success

Fear.

Ok, if I left it at that this would be a really short article. But its very true. Fear is the biggest limitation in most people’s lives when it comes to making lots of money and becoming successful. I have worked with people in all industries and from all backgrounds and I can say without exception, it was fear in one form or another which was holding them back.

Many people in the sales industry have a fear of cold calling. Some have a fear of public speaking. Yet both of those activities can directly lead to more sales and higher income. The fear is irrational and most people are aware of that. The biggest frustration my clients have is that they know that they shouldn’t be afraid and that their fears are silly, yet they cannot seem to overcome them.

One of the biggest lessons I have learned in life is that there is nothing as powerful as emotion. In fact, Emotions give Life to Thought! What is the difference between thinking about doing the laundry later today and thinking about taking a trip to Hawaii? Do your thoughts of doing the laundry have lots of exciting details? Do you spend 15 or 20 minutes thinking about how great it will be to have clean clothes? Of course not, or at least I hope not! What is the difference between thinking about doing laundry and thinking about going to Hawaii? Emotion.

You probably don’t have much emotion about doing laundry, so you might think about it and get a flash of seeing yourself putting clothes in the washer and that is it. But when you think about going to Hawaii or anything that excites you, you get emotionally attached to the idea. You start getting excited. You start thinking about all the fun you will have and all the exciting things you will do. You start thinking about involved fantasies about where you will go and what you will do when you get there. The emotion gives your thoughts a much greater degree of reality. This is basically how things manifest in our lives. We think about something, we feel intense emotions about that something, that something becomes real to us, then at some point that something come into our life. This is the Law of Attraction in action. The problem is that Fear is a much more powerful emotion that just about any other emotion that we feel with the exception of love.

When we fear something, we associate a powerfully negative feeling with the thought of it. Once that fear has been associated with a thought, anytime we think that thought, we feel the fear. When you feel fear, you don’t want to have anything to do with making that thought a reality because we don’t want to feel the fear. However, here is the biggest trick that we play on ourselves. Fear isn’t real. Fear only exists in our minds. You can fear the past or the future but it is almost impossible to feel fear if your mind is focused on the present moment.

So the good news is that you are not afraid of what you think you are afraid of. You are just afraid of what you think. Have you noticed that whenever you have successfully done something that you were afraid of, you are never as afraid of doing it again? The thought of doing it was much more frightening than the reality. So the key to success is to change your fearful thoughts into thoughts associated with joy, confidence and other positive emotions. In future articles I will be showing you exactly how to change those thoughts.
