A Quick Way to Get Over Fear of Not Achieving Your Dream

-
Your confidence in yourself is spiraling downwards. You’re already 2 weeks into the business and there is no single client in sight. You’ve just gone through the 9th interview and till now, there is no job offers at all. Or perhaps a publisher has just rejected your appeal to showcase your book. Much as you’ve wanted to achieve goal success, your disappointing results is seriously casting doubt over your decision to quit your job, invest huge sums of money into that seemingly full-of-potential business or time to go night classes in preparing yourself for your ideal job. And it certainly doesn’t help that your family and friends are asking you to quit.
“Maybe they’re right that I should go back to getting a stable job”. “Perhaps I should stop thinking about publishing a book”. As you start questioning if you should continue the pursuit of your dreams, your mind slowly manifests images of situations where things didn’t work out. The future looks bleak. Chaos ensues. You’re getting more and more scared. Shucks, what do you do now?

 

Go back to your whys.

Yes.
What was the burning desire that got you to ditch that position you’ve slogged hard in the company for, to setup a business? What was the driving force that pushes you to wad through tonnes and tonnes of recruitment papers and employment websites before you can find a ideal job position to apply for? What is the source of motivation that made you sacrifice thousands of hours of your leisure time writing each page of your new novel?
That same compelling reason will help you expel your fear of not achieving your dream. Whatever that has the power to compel it, drive it, has the power to sustain it. Even if it means breaking through negative sources of energy such as fear or doubt and forcing you to focus on your objective. Remember, what got you started in business is the reason why you stayed in business. What ignited your fire in searching for your dream job is precisely the reason that kept you in the career chase. What made you write that first word for your novel is the definitely the reason that will keep you writing till the last word. You don’t just give up easily because of a little fear ripple ruffling your mettle.
But should you ever succumb to the fearful bug in the fit of the moment, instead of blaming yourself for being such a weakling, try channeling that negative energy into constructive wisdom by writing down all the reasons that keep you started in the race in the first place. You’ll be surprised at how much you’re forgetting.

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional ...

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to lose ourselves in the art of people-pleasing, seeking validation and approval from those around us. Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin...
