PartOne left us in the Limbo Land of FEAR. But, in order to deal with Fear,
we need to ask ourselves "What exactly is fear and what am I really
afraid of?" Some say that fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. I really
dislike this acronymic definition because it trivializes what we feel. It makes
our concerns seem small and it makes us self conscious. Others say
that FEAR is a human's natural instinct of sensing danger and then
having a great need for safety. And that is true. When we encounter things that
we don't understand (ie. direct sales) we do feel apprehensive. This is
because we haven't had experiences with it, or we have heard about
negative experiences with it or we simply don't want to do it because "I'm
not a sales person". and "I don't want to be pushy".
However, I
rather think that Fear is a process of thinking things through, while
addressing our concerns about a given decision or situation.
