A friend of mine on the blogosphere Kris Cantrel (it isn’t him on the picture but I have to say that some similarity exist ) inspired me to wrote this post. He is a midle aged husband, father, redneck and geek (it’s how he discribed himself and I’m sure he hasn’t jumble an order ). He has a truly personal blog with his motivational thoughts what I visit time after time. By the way I have found for myself that woman magazines and blogs of elder mankind can give important answers to the fateful questions of my life . But I’m not going to dig so deep today.I just want to talk about the thing or rather the feeling that would like to follow us everysingle day and every single beginning.

“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.”

Motivational Thoguht of Les Brown

So, fear… Blogpost of Khris induced me codify my thoughts about this topic. I have understood withincreasing years that fear is a wholesome feeling… until we are talking about keeping us alive and healthy. Fear helps us stay alive and kicking because the greatest part of us use climbing equipment when klimb mountains, body protection in the bike track, parachute in the time of skydiving etc. Creator provided us with this kind of fear some time befor our arriving. It is rational fear.

Strange to say but after that only first couple of years pass efficient – we learn to stand up and move along. Thereafter all as though conspire against us – “don’t speak that”, “don’t do this”, “you will not do this”, “it is impossible” and so on… All are trying to prevent us from every beginning that we start as if they would be those who would fail. Of course it could be excused as parental care about their children or solicitude of society about an individual. Hovever we can’t gainsaid that a reason of meny fiascos in our further life grow roots here. We must care about our children and others not through fault-finding and scaring with misfortunes but through encouraging them and helping them to take first steps in every beginning.

As I mentioned above I had a habit to leave home without permission of my parents in my early childhood. This wasn’t my only trade. My mother worked as a traffic controller on a railway. I didn’t remember why but sometimes she performed the functions on the narrow gauge railway line that curled through woods by swamps and connected peatries. Sometimes she took me along with her. I liked movies about indians, cowboys and soviet partizans (I like those still) at this time and I have a thorough percept about getting on and getting out of a train in motion. I remember clear those feelings. I did it sensible and step by step – I knew it was dangerous therefore I weighted up two things: no.1 – a place (on the turn) wher the train has the lowest speed (of course if we can talk about a speed in relation to narrow-gauge puffer but don’t remember a fact that I was about six then); no.2 – a sandy slope direct by the rails as a landing point.

I didn’t remember with which try I got into the wagon but I remember how I comprehended that I didn’t foreknew one, fundamental enough, thing – what if I couldn’t jump out – I didn’t know where the train will stops. But it was only a small moment of uneasiness. I said myself that a landing spot was assured, yet more, it was just cool and I just did it – I happily landed into the light sand. At the same time my mother had not the vaguest motion about this affair. I wasn’t an upbraided by mom or fraightened by some “well-wisher” scared little boy then. I was at least a comrade of Goiko Mitic unless himself .

Of course the purpose of this post isn’t to suggest someone to repeat this, no!, as the saying goes: “Don’t do this at home!!!”. I told this just for an ilustration how we can achieve something existing in our imagination by consideration and taking action by using sequential steps.The most important thing here is a relation between rational and irrational fear in common with lack of someones critical attitude. If your irrational fear and criticism of the others do not allow you to do anything just stop for a moment and try to remember – everyone of us, definitely, have the similar moments. Moments when no one can stop you and you did all just perfect. Your fear was your companion then not your pullback.

So, let’s understand your fear, dream, think and act!

“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they aren’t half the strength you think they have.”

Action is the foundational key to all success.

Pablo Picasso

I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

Michael Jordan

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Bill Cosby

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

Booker T. Washington

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Margaret Thatcher

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals. William Frederick ‘Bull’

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.

Thucydides

People who fail to achieve their goals usually get stopped by frustration. They allow frustration to keep them from taking the necessary actions that would support them in achieving their desire. You get through this roadblock by plowing through frustration, taking each setback as feedback you can learn from, and pushing ahead. I doubt you’ll find many successful people who have not experienced this. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration.

Anthony (Tony) Robbins

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.

Louis Pasteur

Goals are dreams with deadlines.

Diana Scharf Hunt

There are no secrets to success. Don’t waste your time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.

We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.

General Dwight David Eisenhower

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

Bob Dylan

To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.

William Shakespeare

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

Vince Lombardi

Success, remember is the reward of toil.

Sophocles

I’ve had enough success for two lifetimes, My success is talent put together with hard work and luck.

Kareem Abdul-Jabar

I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success – the earliest spark in the dreaming youth – is this; dream a great dream.

John A. Appleman

You are wholly complete and your success in life will be in direct proportion to your ability to accept this truth about you.
Dr. Robert Anthony

Better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

William A. Ward

How a person masters his fate is more important than what his fate is.

Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Og Mandino

Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Ernest A. Fitzgerald

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Thomas Alva Edison

Too often the shortcut, the line of least resistance, is responsible for evanescent and unsatisfactory success.

Louis Binstock

Success doesn’t mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. It means winning the war, not every battle.

Edwin C. Bliss

The secret of success is to do common things uncommonly well.
John Davidson Rockefeller, Sr.

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
