This month's message is about dealing with FEAR, False Evidence Appearing Real, avnd how, while it can hold many of us back, has been used as a launching pad to success by business men and women who deal with it properly.
Here are some points to ponder if you are struggling to deal with your own fears when it comes to business decisions.
• Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.
• Fear is like fire; If controlled it will help you; if uncontrolled, it will rise up and destroy you. Men's actions depend to a great extent upon fear. We do things either because we enjoy doing them or because we are afraid not to do them.
• Half our fears are baseless; the other half discreditable.
• Courage is a special kind of knowledge; the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.
• It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
• Nothing would be done at all if a man waited till he could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.
• Be unafraid in all things when you know you are in the right.
• He who knows no guilt knows no fear.
• Honest men fear neither the light nor the dark.
• The first step in handling anything is gaining the ability to face it.
The last two thoughts are, "A good boss creates a safe and open environment for people to make and learn from their mistakes. And lastly, "Keep growing. The only real failure is to fail to find out what you do best."
Remember, FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.
Don't believe it.
