The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, American president




It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded,
but the fear of pain or death.
Epictetus




Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Francis Bacon

People often use the wrong way to deal with




• Avoiding
    this never really makes it go away; we either become paralyzed or defeated.

• Frantically searching for a quick fix
    this usually just results in unfocused and wasted effort.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear.
Action breeds confidence and courage.
If you want to conquer fear,
do not sit home and think about it.
Go out and get busy.

TO OVERCOME FEAR
• Most fear is not based on fact
        Much of what we fear is based on a feeling

• Release yourself from fear
        Acknowledge that the majority of fear is
         unfounded




Fear and worry are interest paid in advance
         on something you may never own.
                                                                                               Ancient saying
All rights reserved. © Copyright 2011. Property of Platinum Networkers®. No unauthorised reproduction permitted.
• Biggest misconception
         Courage = lack of fear?

• By admitting our fear
         we can then challenge its accuracy.




Courage is resistance to fear,
mastery of fear; not absence of
fear.
Mark Twain

• To do anything of value,
  we have to take risks.
        With risk comes fear.

• Accept it as the price of progress
        Then take appropriate risks that yield great
         reward.

• Focus on our reason for
  confronting fear
   Is it bigger than the fear?
        The firefighter runs into the burning
         building not because he’s fearless,
         but because he has a missionthat is
         more important than the fear.

• Accept the facts that there are
  many things we can’t control.
        This allows us to focus on what we can control.

• John C. Maxwell:
        I can control my attitude, but not others’ actions.
        I can control my calendar, but not others’
         circumstances.
        It’s not what happens to me, but what happens
         in me.



          Do not let what you cannot do interfere
                           with what you can do.
                                                                     John Wooden, American basketball coach
All rights reserved. © Copyright 2011. Property of Platinum Networkers®. No unauthorised reproduction permitted.
• To be courageous, you
  have to focus only on
  today.
   Because it’s the only thing you
    have any control over.
       Fear tries to make us look at all of our
        problems at once: those from
        yesterday, today, and tomorrow.




                                        All rights reserved. © Copyright 2011. Property of Platinum Networkers®. No unauthorised reproduction permitted.
• Fear tends to breed more fear,
  courage leads to more courage.
        The more we face our fears, the more capable
         we begin to feel, and the more fears we are
         willing to face.




 You gain strength, courage and confidence
    by every experience in which you really
                stop to look fear in the face.
                                                                                            Eleanor Roosevelt
All rights reserved. © Copyright 2011. Property of Platinum Networkers®. No unauthorised reproduction permitted.
• No amount of thinking
  can overcome the fear.
         In fact, the more we think in those
          situations, the more fearful we
          become.

• The only solution is
  action.



When thinking won’t cure fear,
action will.
