There was a time when my emotions


ran my life, and fear kept me from
reaching my full potential.

But one crucial revelation changed


everything. I realized that emotions are
just information, and the power to
respond to them was in my hands.

When I began to dismantle the walls of


irrational fear I’d erected in my mind,
success started to follow.

Here’s how to conquer 7 common, yet


irrational fears standing between you
and your dreams:

1) Fear of Failure – Stemming from a


desire for perfection, you conjure
images of embarrassment, shame,
and a loss of respect due to failure.

How to tackle it: Adopt the mantra “fail


forward”. Each setback paves the way
for a future comeback.

All successful people have faced failure.


Thomas Edison had 1,000 unsuccessful
attempts before inventing the light bulb.

2) Fear of Rejection – It holds you back


from taking risks or expressing ideas.

How to tackle it: Practice handling


rejection scenarios through role-playing
with a trusted friend. Once comfortable,
expose yourself to real-world situations
where rejection is a possibility. Over
time, the sting of rejection will lessen.

Fun Fact: J.K. Rowling faced rejection


from 12 publishers before Harry Potter
was finally accepted.

3) Fear of Uncertainty – Craving control


is common, but the only aspect of life
you can truly control is yourself.

How to tackle it: Embrace uncertainty


as a part of growth, and nurture your
adaptability. Change your usual route
to work, mix up your work environment,
diversify your reading habits (if you
usually read non-fiction, try a novel), or
experiment with new tech tools.

Imagine if Jeff Bezos had let the fear of


uncertainty deter him when Amazon was
just a small online bookstore.

4) Fear of Success – Sometimes, success


can be as intimidating as failure,
especially when it might increase
expectations and responsibilities.

How to tackle it: Envision yourself in


your desired successful position,
effortlessly managing the heightened
responsibilities. This mental rehearsal can
help make the concept of success feel
more familiar and less daunting.

go for the great.” – John D. Rockefeller

5) Fear of Not Being Good Enough –


This is a manifestation of imposter
syndrome, where you doubt your
abilities and qualifications.

How to tackle it: Be mindful and aware


of self-doubting thoughts and challenge
them immediately. Ask: "Is this fact or
fear-driven self-criticism?" Questioning
can help disrupt the cycle of negativity.

Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper


for "lacking imagination" and faced
several business failures. Can you
imagine if he had let self-doubt stop
him from eventually founding Disney?

6) Fear of Decision Making – It’s rooted in


anxiety about making a wrong choice
that could lead to dire consequences.

How to tackle it: Develop the skill to


make informed decisions, combining
intuition with data. Use techniques like
fast forecasting and the Eisenhower
Matrix for a systematic, logical approach.

“In any moment of decision, the best


thing you can do is the right thing, the
next best is the wrong thing, and the
worst thing you can do is nothing.”
– Theodore Roosevelt

7) Fear of Becoming Obsolete – In this


rapidly evolving world, fear of being
left behind can feel overwhelming.

How to tackle it: Commit to lifelong


learning, and stay curious about new
trends and technologies. Carve out time
each week to learning something new—
a webinar, a podcast, a book.

Bear in mind, Netflix pivoted from a DVD


rental service to a streaming giant. You
possess all the resources you need
within you to evolve with the times.

Remember, the power to interpret and


react to your emotions lies within you.

Viktor Frankl, author of Man's Search For


Meaning, taught it in this way:

"Between the stimulus and response,


there is a space. In that space lies our
freedom and our power to choose our
response. In our response lies our
growth and our happiness."

Overcoming fear is a journey. Be patient


with yourself and celebrate the small
victories. Your best life is waiting for you.
