I learned today that confidence is key to success!

Happy 4th of July guys! I was reading a book called the art of extraordinary confidence by Aziz Gazipura. I got to the chapter based on FEAR which of course I struggle a lot with and he told me to LOVE THE FEAR. I first I was like what? What do you mean by that? What do you mean to love the fear? I heard that before but what does it REALLY mean? He told me to identify the fear, how it makes you feel and then LOVE IT. Show it mad affection. When you do this, you are longer running away from it, instead, you are understanding yourself and getting out of your comfort zone, you start to use another emotion(LOVE) to overcome it. Because FEAR holds back all the BEST stuff in life, for example, that next job you want, those sales you want, that hot girl, better relationships, a better car, better health, overcoming judgment. All of it gets guarded by FEAR. I call him the FEAR GUARDIAN. All you gotta do is love this guy and not run away from him and avoid him. He is there for a reason. TO KEEP YOU SAFE and TO NOT make everyone an overpowered fearless monster. But sometimes you have to get through, you have to understand what his JOB is and then just get past right him. Is not easy at first but this new perspective is making my life way easier right now. Fear is like an overprotective Mother(another example), maybe she is stopping you from going to a far away college, and she is doing this because you don't know anyone there and she and your dad can't reach you there. All you gotta say is mom(fear) I love you, I know why you are doing this which is to keep me safe, but this is something that I really want. Your mom(fear) is going to say I love you too and if this is what you really want then you have my support. That's how fear works. You don't have to slam through it, you only have to understand why is there, inside your head or body and then just do what you have to do. So next time you are afraid of something, say to yourself, THIS IS A GOOD THING, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT THING, this means I am about to reach THE NEXT LEVEL, I am about to get something good. This was just something I had to tell you guys, I hope it helps you out. Happy fourth of july! Love yall!
