Are You Honest About Your Fears?

Are You Honest About Your Fears? Season 2Episode 24 Everyone, even successful people, are afraid to one degree or another. Fear really control a larger part of our lives that we are ready to admit.  When fear is left unchecked in our subconscious mind it manifests as a form of self-sabotage that holds us back from making progress. The real problem is that we are not honest with ourselves about our fears.  Are you ready to change that?  During this episode, I referenced the incredible book You2 by Price Pritchett, and you can order this book here: https://amzn.to/3MV5RUA 1:28 - My mind works the same as your mind, and I am afraid. Most people are really afraid, and they are lying to themselves about it.  4:20 - I am no different than you, except in one area: I understand my mind and how my mind works, that it is my conditioning causing this fear and I am preceding forward anyways.  5:07 - Quantum leaps jerk you out of your comfort zone.  5:46 - In a quantum leap, the only way you control the situation is knowing where you are going, continuing the pursuit and learning from your mistakes.  6:45 - If you are experiencing no anxiety or discomfort, the risk you are taking probably isn’t worthy of you. You are playing it safe and not growing.  7:42 - When you reprogram your mind to a different level of success and start taking action, you are going to be uncomfortable. Everything we want is outside of our comfort zone.  8:24 - We usually are not honest with ourselves about our fear. We allow our mind to use our fear to come up with excuses to stay where we are at.  9:42 - We fear sharing our power, our dreams, making changes and fearing how other people will react to our change.  10:19 - We are vulnerable when we are living our truth, open and transparent. This intimacy does invite other people in, so we shield our selves from other people.  12:03 - Earl Nightingale has said, “It is our attitude toward life which will determine life’s attitude toward us. If we take the attitude that we can’t do something, we generally will not do it.” 13:31 - “We are so familiar with ourselves we tend to take ourselves for granted. We tend to minimize the things we can accomplish, the goals we can reach, and for some equally strange reason believe others can accomplish things in our field which we cannot.”  14:57 - We are doubtful of ourselves, we just project that doubt onto other people and therefore, we empower circumstance and enthrone it in our lives with a power it does not have.  16:01 - This is subconscious conditioning and even genetic conditioning to be dishonest or mistrustful of another group of people for our protection and survival. 17:44 - The irony is, most of the time your fear can only be brought down by another person who sees through your programming and conditioning.  19:09 - Your behavior needs to be in integrity with your thoughts, feelings and belief system. You can only change that belief system by facing it.  20:29 - If a person attempts to accomplish something beyond their level of belief, the mind will quickly and automatically create ideas or reasons justifying why it can’t be done and those ideas will continue to flow until the project is abandoned.  22:22 - Your mind can only hold one idea at a time. It is that idea the rest of your creative mind will work on.  23:44 - Write out the answer to this questions: “What am I really afraid of happening?” If you don’t sort out the causes of fear, it will continue to rattle around in your subconscious and continue to sabotage you.  24:23 - Chances are you have a decision to make on the other side of this fear. Write down the decision and below that write out the reasons you can’t do it, and the reasons you can. Decide to focus only on why you can! 26:01 - Fear cannot survive being seeing. Talking about the fear doesn’t make it grow. Hiding the fear makes it grow.  27:07 - Play this mental game: Pretend someone you know, trust and love comes to you with the same decision.
