Fear is one of the things that keep people from doing great things in their lives. But fear IS NOT REAL although it certainly feels like it is. It’s not actually able to keep you from your goals and dreams. The only thing that can keep you from those is you.

Realistically-everyone has fears. Some people though, allow those fears to stop their progress in life, and it’s progress that makes us feel good. If you have a goal to be a millionaire or make it rich online, fear, if you let it, will keep you from obtaining that goal. It’s not because the potential is not there or that you are incapable-it’s because of what’s in your mind.
Identify your fear. Some fears are actually healthy-like being stung by a scorpion. That fear is going to keep you from sticking your hand where a scorpion might be. An unhealthy fear is never going to the desert and enjoying a dunebuggy ride because scorpions live in the desert. So we want to identify the fear and determine if it’s a healthy fear that keeps us alive, or an unhealthy fear that makes us live “dead”.
One of the ways we can determine this is to ask other people if it’s a legitimate fear that makes sense. So if you’re afraid of rocking chairs, chances are someone else is going to tell you that doesn’t make any sense. That doesn’t mean you’re letting other people run your life, but it takes kind of a consesus of the fear. Sometimes it’s difficult for us to grasp a hold of the fact that most people aren’t afraid of the same thing.
Your fear can actually motivate you too. Say you’re afraid of not being able to pay your bills, that fear will motivate you to work really hard and finally make a breakthrough to start making money online. It was that fear of not being able to pay your bills that motivated you.
When we approach a fear, we are able to motivate ourselves if we conquer that fear and turn it into a very powerful motivating force. We have now conquered the fear and gained strength that gave us motivation. We can now even approach a greater fear because we have more energy, momentum and forceable confidence. We can see ourselves going through that fear and overcoming it. The single most important element in conquering fears is motivation to continue to not give up.
Do not let yourself quit. If you try to conquer a fear and fail, take a step back and regroup then hit it again because persistence is what’s going to help you overcome your fears. You can look for people throughout history who have been successful, and almost every single one of them have had failures. They succeeded because they had persistence!
