BEAT YOUR FEAR
In love there is no fear, but perfect love casts out fear; because fear carries punishment. Where he who fears has not been perfected in love.
Feeling fear is not bad. This emotion is usually activated when we are facing a dangerous situation. The problem is that sometimes it is irrational. That is, it is not a real fear. Feeling afraid to speak in public or the possibility that a relationship is broken is the result of insecurities. Although, also, certain beliefs are probably acting that will need to be questioned.
Fear is a factor that paralyzes many when it comes to entrepreneurship. We all, at some point, face fear, but how should we work it?
Fear is an emotion, product of something internal or external. So the first thing you have to see is where it comes from; Yes because of insecurities, beliefs, internal thoughts, or if it is external because you are sure, but someone starts to doubt you. Whatever the case, the point is that there are fears that entrepreneurs have to overcome, to conquer.
One of them is the fear of failure, fear of not going well. Understand that success is not accumulation of achievements only, but also of falls; It is an accumulation of successes and failures; All this is part of the final achievement. Michael Jordan was hired to make an announcement where they wanted to put him to talk about all his successes, but he changed it and talked about all the times he passed the ball of the last shot and did not succeed, spoke about the times he failed , and concluded by saying: Therefore, I am successful. Failure is part of success. So the fear of failure cope with it, understanding that it is part of the path.
Another is the fear of the day after failure. How do you get up? What will you feel You'll say? At some point you have said that if such a thing happens to you, you die, but it happened to you and you are there. The day after the fall, of the failure, of a bankruptcy, everything starts again. We never thought that the church was going to be destroyed as it was, but it turned out that it has been a great blessing; It's more work, but it has been a great blessing. There are times when certain things happen and we think that everything will end, but then we realize that the world and life continue, that we have to continue, that we have to get up. It happened in the famous Y2K, where it was thought that computer systems were all going to collapse, but it didn't happen and everyone realized that we had to continue living. Even the church has propelled this on occasion, saying that the world is going to end, and this makes people focus on preparing for a day, rather than preparing for after that day.
Fear is a false expectation that appears to be real. Many times we are afraid, and we do not realize that they are totally false. You have self-imposed fears, fears that others have instilled in you, and fears that you don't know where they came from, but that they live within you.

How do we overcome this particular fear? There is a book called Think Big, the magic of success, paraphrased: The magic of thinking big. The second chapter of this book is called: Action heals fear. How do you overcome the fear of the unknown? With action. One day you have to do something for the first time, and you will do it with fear. It is not that you will not feel fear, but that you will conquer it. The action cures the fear. It is better done than perfect.
Another fear is to bother you, to leave your comfort zone. To undertake, you have to get out of your bed. But comfort goes beyond; It also implies what you are accustomed to, your routines, your environment, the people around you, that circle that you dare not leave because you feel comfortable in it. But understand that either you are uncomfortable, or the economy and the world will make you uncomfortable. Bother yourself. A good start is to start daily doing small things that are different. Sit in a public square and talk to someone you don't know, and you already broke that fear, you left the comfort zone. Start beating little fear. Great conquests are achieved with small conquests, in the same way that great fears are achieved with small fears.
There will always be a mental struggle between fears imposed or self-imposed and what you know and strengthen. The question is who do you strengthen the most, if your security, your service, your value, or the comment of third parties. You have to understand that fear never disappears; What you learn is to conquer it.
