Be Free From Fear

Click for Be Free From Fear Photograph Details

When I worked for other people, I was always worried about my future. With good reason, for I have twice suffered redundancy. For many years, I feared quitting my job, because I feared failure working for myself. The first time I was made redundant, I found a new job fairly quickly, but the prospects were not as good as my first job. There is a fearful sub-plot there, as I had a choice regarding the redundancy. I could have continued my career at a different location, but guess what – I feared the upheaval of relocation.

I have grown to realize that, whilst fear can be positive if it warns us of danger, it can also be negative where those dangers are false. False dangers are almost always based on ignorance.

The second time I got made redundant, I was much older, and finding new work was very hard. I found part time work, and, with support from my wife, started investigating ways of supplementing my income with returns from my hobby. But I feared failure too much to make a real commitment immediately. I worked hard at my part-time job, doing extra unpaid hours – anything to avoid true commitment and planning of a proper home-based web business. But I fooled myself into thinking extra work would make the part time job more secure. It didn’t, and so the part time job went, leaving me with little more than a hobby that barely covered it’s costs.

I had a choice of a serious effort to build a full time web business, or seek work in the ever-dwindling job market. A positive and real fear of never finding work spurred me to plan my web business properly and push forward with commercial success. I’m happy to report that it worked, and I know exactly why it worked.

During what I regard as my hobby years, I was building knowledge. More importantly, I learned how to build more knowledge, in any subject that interested me, and I learned how to apply that knowledge to make money for myself, and also help other people. That knowledge has given me the power to deal with my fears. I can harness positive fears to take action to avoid real dangers. I can harness negative fears to learn more and dismiss imagined dangers.
