How to Release Fear and Motivate Yourself
by Michael Cambray
(NaturalNews) Do not fear failure, failure is just a learning experience. There is really no such thing as failure; there are only results. It is on record that the inventor Edison, on being told that his fiftieth experiment to produce an electric light bulb had failed said, "No we didn't fail, we just found another way of not doing it".
You have the power to hurt or benefit yourself. If you do not choose to be motivated, no one can really motivate you. However if you do choose to be motivated, then you don't need anyone else's help. Mind is the creator of everything. You simply need to guide it.
If you cling to a motivating thought without fear and with enough dynamic power, it will form a tangible form. Whenever you choose to employ your imagination for constructive purposes you become the controller of your destiny. The mind is like an elastic band. The more you pull, the more it stretches.
If you find being motivated over a particular idea overwhelming, then the best first step is to break it down into smaller sizes. You may remember the old joke about "how do you eat an elephant?" The answer is "one bite at a time". Begin by seeing the task in its finished state and then notice only the smaller steps that are needed to complete the task.
Successful people believe that everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves us. All successful people focus on what is possible in a situation, what positive results can come from it. They believe that every adversity contains the seed of a greater benefit.
Whatever occurs in your life it is vital that you take responsibility. Achievers believe that no matter what happens, they created it. Taking responsibility is a measure of a person's maturity and power. If you don't believe in failure then you have nothing to lose. If you are in control, you will succeed. Most successful people don't believe they have to know everything. They don't get bogged down with worrying about small details. Entrepreneurs have a working knowledge about a lot of things but little knowledge of each and every minor detail.
Mark Twain, the great American philosopher said, "the secret of motivation is in making your vocation your vacation". In other words, work should be play. You enrich your life by bringing the same motivation used when at play, to your work.
There certainly is no success without commitment. If you look at motivated people they are always the ones with the most commitment. They follow their main aim without fear. If there is something you always wanted to do, then do it. Remember, the truest five words are 'whatever you think, you create' and you can create whatever you want.
