Successful Without Fear

Successful Without Fear

Fear of Flying

 

Everyone wants to be successful. How to succeed and how not to fail is the question, but what is the answer?

What if your fear of failure; sometimes called the fear of flying, is sabotaging your success, keeping you paralyzed, unable to dream and imagine yourself as a happy and successful person?

​

It is the fear of failing that often prevents us from taking the first step that can lead to success.

​

We often fear success because we’ve been conditioned to believe that the road to success involves risks (which it does) and subconscious programming gives us messages that we are not worthy, we’re losers and it’s not worth taking the risk because we’ll probably fail.

Taking the Leap

​

If you want to start a business or change your lifestyle, you can research and explore others’ success stories, but no one can teach you how not to fail. You can only learn it by taking a leap of faith requires courage. But you’ve got to get beyond your mind if your thoughts have kept you imprisoned to a life of mediocrity.

​

You must relearn everything you’ve been taught about being successful (without fear).

Signs You May Be Afraid of Flying

 

You worry excessively over things that have not happened

 

Impatient with yourself and others

​

Often frustrated and angry, feeling that something is missing in life

​

Judgmental thoughts keep you distracted from seeing the good in yourself and others

​

Regret the past, fear the future and seldom live in the present

 

Feel unworthy; self-sabotaging thoughts prevent you from achieving goals and success

​

Work at unfulfilling jobs with a sense of dissatisfaction

​

Feel you have no power to control yourself or events in your life

​

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

How to Overcome the Fear of Flying

 

Become aware. Awareness is everything. It is what you need to stay in the present moment. But it’s going to take a bit more than awareness to cure your fear of flying. It’s going to take your commitment and a lot of mental work. But it’s the work you need to do if you want to become the joyful, creative person you were born to be.

​

Without awareness we live life on autopilot; habitually playing the same movie reels over and over in our minds. Life is the same boring, predictable story and nothing changes. Because WE haven’t changed. Brief glimpses of “happy” come into view on occasion. Often in the form of a good meal, entertaining movie, vacation, etc. but these moments are fleeting and do not bring us any closer to fulfilling our purpose in life and getting what we truly want, happiness. Happiness is both the goal and the destination. Flying will get you there, but you’ve got to take the first step, spread your wings and take off.
