Success Tips - 4 Steps - How to Overcome Fear

Here is a real life example of going the extra mile in Speak and Inspire Review  action. June 2nd 2009, off duty coast guards saw a man fall off a cliff at Golden Cove in Rancho Palos Verdes. The three coast guards happened to be diving in the area when they witnessed the man fall. They called for help, the paramedics were unable to reach the man, so the Guardians sent in an HH-65 to rescue the victim.Have you ever stopped to think you might be like some of those old, famous folks from back in the day? Me neither! My son has a story to read every week and tonight his story resonated with me in so many ways.

As a fourth grade story goes, it's just the basic facts but tonight I learned that Ben Franklin and I have a lot in common.Did you know that Ben Franklin was a musician, a printer, a cartoonist, and a world traveler? He was also the owner of a newspaper, a shopkeeper, a soldier, and a politician (this one you probably knew). He was also the guy who started the first lending library in America, the first post office to deliver to homes, and he wrote almanacs. And he helped start a hospital, a free academy, a fire department...the list goes on and on.

Okay, so what does this have to do with you and me? Well, let me ask you this.....how many times have you started something in your life? Have you always succeeded? Probably not! Do you think Ben Franklin succeeded at everything the first time too? Probably NOT! In fact, he was often laughed at by his peers and hissed at by nay-sayers. Are you starting to see the connection?Just like Ben Franklin, I have many things that I AM and none of them happened as overnight successes. I had to work hard and push aside the dream stealers and nay-sayers.

For example, when I told my family I was going to get a Master's Degree they told me as a single mom working full time that there was NO WAY I could possibly get a degree of that caliber. In fact, they tried many times to hold me back with limiting beliefs about how NO ONE in either of their families had ever gone for a Master's Degree. I did it anyway just like Ben Franklin harnessed lightening out of the sky. No one had ever done that before, but it didn't stop him and now we use electricity every waking moment (and even some sleeping ones).
