Fear is The Biggest Obstacle in Life...
by Joseph Botelho Investing One Gram at a TimeFebruary 2, 2009
"Fear is The Biggest Obstacle in Life"
For these reasons, I always say that fear is the biggest obstacle in your life - not your financial situation, your upbringing, your daily nine-to-five grind................And your fears are generally unfolded........
Think about what l have just stated when you take the time to analyze what you have done in the past to help your success and what have you done to hinder it. You will recognize changes you could have made and steps you could have taken to make your life more remarkable.
But l have something to share with you and l am firm on this demand: You need to stop dwelling in the past. Otherwise you will never make full use of your great potential that we all have within our self.............
You need to focus your mind and actions on the future, in order to move forward you need to look at your past, "BUT" At be lament about past failures or any aspect of your past. So have a good look at your life in a very objective way and determine what you can do right away to start making positive changes.....
My mind is working over time, l was thinking about this all day today and then l decided to write about it. I had few members at work and l was listening to them when l came up with this after hearing all they had to say......
I told them that the pass is something that you will never change but the only thing you could do from the past is learn from it.......I used some of my failures and told them what l was going through they just looked at me................See it works and l walked away................

l look forward to having you on my team

 PromoterThank you Joseph for this wonderful article! It is so true...fear can be overwhelming and can take total control if you let it. It can destroy everything you are, have and will! Take for instance I went through a very bad domestic violent marriage. For a while I felt that I 'deserved' it, and that all men were the same way. It controlled me and made me almost in to a true 'man' hater. It was eating every breath of hope for me to ever be happy and find that true 'one'. I was miserable. But when I finally realized that I didn't deserve any of what I went through. And that all 'men' are not like that. I was finally able to open up my heart, breathe, live, and be free of that FEAR. That literally haunted me for years, and almost killed me. Even though this is my story any type of fear can ruin you as a person and can take away everything that is yours and promised to you!

 Well said, Joseph. Fear will hold a person back every time. It's not easy letting go either. But if one takes little steps everyday to eliminate that fear, why there's no telling what can be accomplished. Oct 17th 2007 16:24 |

 Hey Gang. I was in the midst of treading in unfamiliar territory when I decided to write and market my ebook. Then I remembered something that I went through when I joined the Army and struggled through basic training years ago. When I started...it was frightening. Halfway through...It became an adventure. When it was over...I missed it. It's always a fearful experience in the beginning. Go figure. Oct 17th 2007 16:50 |

Yeah... But, when you look across the table at the folks who've been through it and you notice that they're still around and doing well, you've got to know that it had to be scary for them at first too. Right? Oct 17th 2007 18:31 |

There's not much I can add, I think it's all been said! Something my Dad always said comes back to me though... "I wouldn't take a million dollars for where I've been and what I've seen..... and I wouldn't give a plug nickle for anymore of it either!" Oct 17th 2007 19:36 |

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of your fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us Behind pain is truth. Have no fear, fear is the one true enemy. Souls are eternal. souls cannot be destroyed but they can be obscured. Face pain. Grab it firmly. Throw it aside. Once you have done you will see clearly what lies behind. It is truth. truth slays fear, takes pain, removes the darkness from your soul. Wendy Oct 17th 2007 21:37 |
