http://mindpersuasion.com/ Most of us have plenty of fears. Luckily, most of these are false. Once we realize this,we can create lives on of unbridled abundance and self expression. Learn More: http://mindpersuasion.com/selfconfidence/

2. If you're ever going to walk a tightrope
between two skyscrapers, here's a
good rule to remember:

3. Don't look down.

4. Yea, I know, you already knew that!

5. But why is this rule so important?

6. If you look down, you'll get scared.

7. If you get scared, you'll lose
confidence, start wobbling, and fall to
your death.

8. Splat!

9. Now, let's forget about a tightrope,
instead let's assume you are walking
across a board, that's a foot across,
and very sturdy.

10. But it's also between two skyscrapers.

11. No wind, (or birds attacking you or
whatever) but it's still a 1000 foot
drop.

12. Could you do it?

13. Most people wouldn't even try unless
there was a HUGE reward at the other
end.

14. Like not dying, or bag filled with
endless money.

15. We'd take one step out, look down,
and say, "nuh-uh!"

16. But think about it.

17. Same board, laid across a soft field of
grass.

18. Would you walk across?

19. Of course you would.

20. It would be easy.

21. A foot across?

22. You wouldn't even need to worry
about your balance.

23. You'd probably be able to play Angry
Bird on your iPhone the whole time,
no problem!

24. So why is the skyscraper so terrifying,
but the grass so easy?

25. Same EXACT process.

26. Only one has a potential deadly
outcome, and one is you just step on
some grass.

27. Now, these two "mind experiments"
both have REAL outcomes.

28. Grass is easy to step on. Falling to your
death is horrible. (Or so I've heard.)

29. So even though the chances of falling
are pretty minuscule, you'd have to
have a pretty good reason, since one
mistake would end you.

30. But most of the time when we think
about doing something, the fear is
really imaginary.

31. Especially social fear.

32. Sales, speeches, talking to strangers,
(especially attractive strangers) feels
like we're going to fall to our death if
we fail.

33. But seriously, is it really that likely?

34. If we give a speech and people get
bored, or think it's silly, are they going
to throw hand grenades at us?

35. If we walk up and start talking to
somebody, and they're in the middle
of something, are they going to give us
a spinning roundhouse kick to the
throat?

36. Probably not.

37. But we act like we THINK they will.

38. But it doesn't have to be that way.

39. We can train ourselves to really
appreciate the potential positive, and
literally blow it up in our minds so
we're COMPELLED to do what we
want, while minimizing the negatives
so we don't even give them a second
thought.

40. Blasting away all social fears, and
replacing with automatic self
confidence.

41. What will you be able to do then?
