8. Consciously eliminate fear and nervousness
On the journey to the goal, fear and boldness are like two big signposts towering in front of you, one pointing to the reverse of success and the other pointing to the positive direction of success.
Fear can bring back many unpleasant memories of failure, pain, and frustration. It also kept hinting - "Will those misfortunes be repeated again this time?" ”
Willingness reminds you of the joy of success, inspires your desire to "do it again", and arouses your enthusiasm for bold attempts.
Two people make the same pie, use the same ingredients, refer to the same food production instructions, one fails and the other achieves excellent results. Why is that? The failed chef looked nervous when he started making the pies. She knew that she had not succeeded in making pies before, and she was worried about what the outcome would be this time, and she did not have a mental image of a mouth-watering golden skin and a delicious pie with meat filling in her head, she was uneasy, nervous, and even a little frightened, and unconsciously melted the hint of uneasiness into the pie-making process. The second thought that the pie she made would be the best, and it did. Her desire to visualize made her successful.
According to the famous psychologist Dennis Wittley, the so-called bold desire is actually the emotional bond that connects you to your goal. In other words, desire is the positive magnetic attraction that you move forward with, while fear brings negative magnetic attraction. It leads to mental depression, restlessness, illness, hostility and even insanity and death.
A person who wants to succeed must jump out of the dungeon of fear and not fall into the shadow of negative cues such as "I can't" and "I can't".
There is a story in Russia in December about Martha being kicked out of the house by her ruthless stepmother and asked her to collect flowers for her stepmother's own daughter for her birthday.
In the cold of December, the snow is falling, and the ice is frozen, where will there be flowers?
But Martha did not freeze to death outside the door, and she cried as she walked towards the forest.
She meets 12 gods representing the 12 months, they can change the seasons, and Martha finally picks the flowers.
It's a fairy tale, but it's not necessarily too far from reality. There is a Buddhist saying called scooping water and keeping it in hand.
The moon in the sky is too high, and the power of mortal dust is difficult to reach, but open the wisdom and pluck a handful of water, and the beautiful face of the moon will smile in the palm of your hand.
The key is that at the extreme point of life, objectively speaking, it is completely impossible, whether the subjective fight is so dying?
Sadly, many times, our spirit collapses before our bodies. For example, an ancient fable:
A man crossed the wooden bridge between the two mountains, and suddenly, the bridge broke. Strangely, instead of falling, he stopped in mid-air, with the abyss at his feet, a rushing torrent. He raised his head, and a ladder of heaven swung in the clouds, and when he looked up, the ladder was out of reach. If he landed on the edge of a cliff, he would definitely scratch at it, even if he caught a life-saving grass. But in this situation, he was completely desperate, frightened, and waited for death with his head in his arms. Gradually, the ladder retracted into the clouds and disappeared. The voice in the clouds said, this is called a trick, in fact, you can reach the ladder on tiptoe, but you have given up your desire to survive, so you have to go to hell.
Boldly standing on tiptoe is another life, another way of living, and another realm. This is a kind of courage with a strong sense of responsibility for life, which not only contains the desire to survive, but also embodies the spirit of exploration, the will not to give in, and the pride of not giving up until the goal is achieved.
Life may not always encounter major events and important events, but even if it is an ordinary thing in daily work and life, if you are always suspicious and afraid and dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step, how can you break through the bottleneck of life and achieve something?
