If you want everything, but need none of it, what is there to be afraid of?
Whenever you make a decision to pursue something you’ve never achieved before, you’re stepping beyond your present conditioning and into the unknown. It’s natural to experience fear, doubt and worry, particularly when the goal requires you to think, feel and act in ways that are unfamiliar.
This is what Bob Proctor taught as the Terror Barrier, the psychological conflict between your existing self-image and the person you are becoming.
The fear doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve made the wrong decision. It may be a sign that you’re growing.
Every time we move through the Terror Barrier, we develop the confidence and capacity to handle bigger ideas, unfamiliar experiences, and we discover more of ourselves in the process.
In this episode of Make Your Own Luck, I explore the relationship between fear and faith, why successful leaders need to consciously seek opportunities for growth, and how to move through the Terror Barrier without allowing your old conditioning to pull you backwards.
Because you don’t need to eliminate fear before you move forward. You can move with it, and freedom is on the other side.
