Leave an opening in your mind where fear can gain hold and guess what, your fear will
become reality! What you fear, even so slightly, has a greater chance of happening than the
fear you confront. The reason for this is simple, because this "low-level" fear is the fear you
are most afraid of. Why? Because it is so frightening, you can't face it and instead it is easier
to deny it.
Unfortunately, it remains forever at this denied "low-level" always in the "back of your
mind." You become comfortable containing or "living with" this fear through your denial
process but somehow you always feel something is holding you back or your just can't seem
to break free. This "low-level" but always present fear you deny has a way of becoming so
powerful and potent by this very act of denial. This type of fear remains in thought and
therefore will have an impact on your beliefs and ultimately manifest itself as your reality. If
you are a trader than it will sabotage you until your worst fear is realized, failure!
Traders that experience thoughts of failure should not take them lightly. Instead they must
find out what is causing these thoughts and take action to eliminate them. Traders that fear
failure will ultimately fail. Traders that fear success will not succeed. If you have these
thoughts, don't trade until these thoughts are dealt with openly where they will be less
powerful then if they where denied. You must confront them and remove their power so
they don't occupy your thoughts.
Fear of failing, or fear of success, must be dealt with and removed from your thoughts before
you will be successful at anything you try and do. Choose and protect your thoughts
carefully! Outside influences can and do impact what you think. Garbage in equals garbage
out. Even something as harmless as watching the news regularly with all its violence and
fearful stories can over time create a fear based belief system in the viewer.
