Find the inspiration to defeat the storytellers

Everybody wants to succeed and everyone wants to try new things. That is another simple fact of our make up as human kind. However, we also have worries and fears that can hold us back and prevent us from living at our full potential. Worry and fear are two negative emotions that continually eat away at your resolve, beliefs and dreams. The longer that you give sway to such emotions the easier it will be for those negatives produce a repeat performance. Unless you learn to control these two emotions, they will undoubtedly control you. You don’t want that. I don’t want that.

Worry and fear are storytellers and if you are willing to listen, you will believe the lie. They will make every attempt to turn you from you path and like all other negatives, they come easy (and die hard), come frequently and come to you at a seconds notice.

Taking action is the stepping-stone to understanding and the pushing these negatives out. If worry and fear are telling you –not- to follow through with something your only course of action should be to turn around and do exactly what it is that you fear doing.

There are many ways to remove worries and fear from your life and many of them require that you do what I stated earlier, to act. 

• Close the doors that let them in.
• Seek out resources that will help you overcome them.
• Always seek to be positive.
• Trust in God.

 

For instance, always being afraid of calling my prospects and worrying about their reaction to my call is a negative emotion. Moreover, it would only snowball if I did not remove them (the emotions) and put positive emotions in their place by acting. Make the call!

But what if they say no? A: What if they say yes?

Another door to negative thought closed and the positive door opens. When those thoughts come to you, they will frame a story for you. When the questions come in the form of doubt and concern ask yourself the very opposite of the question that has you worried. Positive thought is harder to maintain and takes time and effort but it is so worth it. Try it! I know you will like the feeling you get when you have beaten back the concerns and have followed through to enjoy the new direction. We all have a direction for our lives and things we want to try but the storytellers can get in the way. Do not let them. Live your best life and be confident knowing that worry and fear do not control you.
