Does Fear Stop You from Pursuing Your Dreams?

Have you ever had a dream or a goal that you wished you could accomplish, but it just seemed far too lofty or out of reach?
Have you ever had a dream or a goal that you wished you could accomplish, but it just seemed far too lofty or out of reach?

You may have let fear interfere with pursuing it.

So many people have a dream or passion inside of them, and it is fear of failure that stops them.

But guess what? People do amazing things every day, and so can you.

Cornell Thomas joins Andrea and Lisa once again to share how he deals with his fears, and how he overcomes them to reach great achievements.

For instance, Cornell doesn't write his fears down... that's a negative response which gives the fear power. Instead, write down goals; positive things you want to accomplish. Overcoming your fears can be a lesson.

Instead of thinking of all the bad things that can happen, instead think of all the good things that can happen. Don't put all the negative outcomes in your head before you even begin.

Finally, have a plan. You do actually have to work at success. But, if you keep moving forward, it will happen. Once opportunity strikes, you will be ready.

Remember, fear can be positive... it helps motivate and provide "good" adrenaline. Success is simply a combination of work ethic and just saying "Geronimo" and jumping in.

Join Cornell as he shares more tips for overcoming your fears and ultimately achieving great things in life.
