"Just Something To Think About"
Build Confidence and Destroy Fear!
Friends mean well when they say, "It's only our imagination. Don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of."
But you and I know this kind of fear medicine never really works. Such soothing remarks may give us fear relief for a few minutes or maybe even a few hours. But the "it's-only-in-your-imagination" treatment doesn't really build confidence and cure fear.
Yes, fear is real. And we must recognize it exists before we can conquer it.
Most fear today is psychological. Worry, tension, embarrassment, panic all stem from mismanaged, negative imagination. But simply knowing the breeding ground of fear doesn't cure fear.
If a physician discovers you have an infection in some part of your body, he doesn't stop there. He proceeds with treatment to cure the infection.
The old "it's-only-in-your-mind treatment" presumes fear doesn't really exist. But it does. Fear is real. Fear is success enemy No. 1. Fear stops people from capitalizing on opportunity; fear wears down physical vitality; fear actually makes people sick, causes organic difficulties, shortens life; fear closes your mouth when you want to speak.
Fear-uncertainty, lack of confidence-explains why we still have economic recessions. Fear explains why millions of people accomplish little and enjoy little.
Truly, fear is powerful force. In one way or another fear prevents people from getting what they want from life.
Fear of all kinds and sizes is a form of psychological infection. We can cure a mental infection the same way we cure a body infection-with specific, proved treatments.
First, though, as part of your pre-treatment preparation, condition yourself with this fact: all confidence is acquired, developed. No one is born with confidence, who have conquered worry, who are at ease everywhere and all the time, acquired their confidence, every bit of it.
Action is the cure for fear. Put the action principle to work.
Next time you experience big fear or little, steady yourself. Then search for an answer to this question: What Kind Of Action Can I Take To Conquer MY FEAR? Isolate Your Fear.
Then take the appropriate action.

In the past five days, I have received hundreds of emails, many unsolicited, many from business contacts, relating their emotions and thoughts on the events of last Tuesday.
While there are probably no inappropriate sentiments, I am disturbed by the measure of victory that America and the world is willing to concede to those who carried out these crimes.
Freedom is a state of mind.____The degree to which we believe we enjoy it is the degree to which we actually have it!
Have the terrorists taken away our freedom to board a plane without suspicion and fear? The threat is no greater this week than it was last week. The only thing that has changed are the thoughts in our minds. Those thoughts are what produce the fear - not the terrorists. They have always existed and were always capable of doing what they did. And they always will be.
It is up to us to control our own thoughts. The more we ignore them - as we did up until last Tuesday - the less influence they will have. If we succumb to the thoughts they want us to have - who is in control? They are.
In my humble opinion, we should utterly ignore the threat. We had no problem doing that last week, when the threat was no less than it is today.
Sure, lets hunt them down and disassemble them - preferably molecule by molecule - and as painfully and publicly as possible, but lets not give them the satisfaction of generating the terror in our minds that is the entire goal of their actions.
They should generate no more fear in our minds than a bad infestation of termites.
If we cower behind our fear and paranoia - they have won and we have lost the very attitude that has made our country great.
We are great because we have been fearless.
Our fear will make it harder to catch them.
The more they have to sneak around, the less visible they will become.
Lessening security and heightening observation is the way to catch a crook.
And that attitude will infuriate them into doing stupid, careless things that will get them caught.
Yes, we will be in danger - and more will die.
But since when have Americans been afraid to die in the name of Freedom?
If we have collectively "declared war" on these people - then we are all "soldiers" who should be willing to sacrifice our lives for the greater good of the future.
And in the meantime, lets let them know that we are not interested in giving up one iota of our Freedom.
That we are just as confident, if not *more* confident in our ability to live Free and pursue our individual concepts of happiness.
Move forward with our lives, build our businesses, celebrate the good things and plan for greatness - just as we were doing last week.
The only things that have changed is OUR minds. Change them BACK to what they were last week, with the additional attribute of the knowledge that we must erradicate these lethal pests, but withOUT the fear these pests sought to instill!
