Motivation and Fear

Heyo everyone, this weeks blog is going to be a messy one about motivation and fear

I really don’t know how I can convert my thoughts to words on this one, or in this case, my feelings to words. I think the main concept I’m looking at is how your fear can affect your motivation both positively and negatively. In some cases, fear can cause you to run from your goal and hide from it, maybe because you’re afraid of failure, afraid of something personal perhaps. It really hampers your motivation to pull through. However, on the contrary, the same thing can boost your motivation. Your fear of what will happen if you don’t reach your goal may motivate you to get there, your fear of failure may drive you to train harder instead of avoiding it all together.

To me, there’s a very direct connection between your fear and your motivation. I don’t like fear, but it’s ever present. We have to learn how to use it. By learning how to “control” our fear so we can use it to boost are motivation, who knows. It’s still a concept I’m working on. But I’m working on it.
