15 Things To Stop Being Scared Of So You Can Be Rich, Happy, And Successful

May 11, 2020 By Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

Being scared is a natural reaction, but a lot of good things can and will be scary.

Often, people are scared when things are changing, like if you’re starting a new job, getting married, or any other major life event. It’s only natural to be a little scared about how things will turn out.

You might be scared when you are trying to do something that is difficult, like paying off debt. What if it takes you longer than you had hoped? What about the sacrifices you will have to make?

Being scared happens when you do or try things that are new or outside of your comfort zone, and everyone feels scared from time to time. You may not believe that you cannot achieve what you are setting out to do. But, you have to push through these negative moments and realize that you are holding yourself back if you want to start overcoming fear and let yourself move forward and do something new.

I have had a lot of fears to overcome to get where I am today. I was scared to quit my job to blog full-time. I was scared to move from our regular house to an RV. I was scared to move onto our sailboat. Being scared is natural, but if I didn’t address my fears in a positive way, I wouldn’t be living the life I am today.

Everyone is scared of something. However, it’s how you approach that fear that really matters. If you hide from your fear then you may be holding yourself back. This can then lead to regret later, which often feels worse than being scared. Whether you are wanting to tackle your debt, you want to leave a job you hate, you want to travel the world, and so on, you need to overcome the fears associated with these goals to live and enjoy the life you want.

Below are 15 things you should stop being scared of so that you can learn how to be rich, happy, and successful (or whatever you want to be!).

1. Don’t fear discomfort.

Many of the best things in life are probably going to make you feel uncomfortable. Being scared and staying in your box all the time, while it seems easy, can hold you back in some situations.

I’m a big believer that growth comes from trying things that make you feel uncomfortable! This may mean going on stage to do public speaking, climbing a mountain, selling your home to travel full-time, exercising, making new friends, learning a new skill, and so on. By doing things that make you uncomfortable, you may learn new things about yourself, find something that you love doing, and so on.

2. Stop being scared of what other people think.

If I let the opinions of others stop me from doing things, I would probably be hiding in a closet and never leave my house. This is completely different from how I used to be. Now I don’t care at all about what others think, and I couldn’t be happier. You shouldn’t let the opinions of others affect you. Like I always say “WHO CARES?!“
