The Magic Feather
A tiny, yet powerful coach said, "The things that held
you down are going to carry you up, and up, and up!...You'll be
the world's only flying elephant!" That line was delivered by
Timothy, the friendly mouse and cheerleader in one of my all
time favorite Disney movies-- Dumbo. The tenderness of that
movie always makes me cry. What inspires me about it is the way
our little elephant hero triumphs over rejection and learns to
believe in himself.
Facing rejection is hard for everyone, and if you're in a
service business where your product is YOU, the fear can be
paralyzing at times. Yet, in order to succeed, you have to be
willing to put yourself out there and believe that you can do
it! And that is especially true in the early phases of your
business. When it's all hard work and results haven't shown up
yet, all you've got is belief to keep you going!
Here's a few things I've learned about getting through
fear and developing belief:
Your belief must be greater than your fear. It can be a
struggle, and there are days when fear wins, but keep paying
attention to what's working for you. Acknowledge your successes,
great and small. Authentic belief is built through repeated
positive experiences, so pay attention. You want to develop
positive beliefs, not more negative ones!
Believe in yourself--not
circumstances. This one is
tricky. If you haven't developed belief in yourself, it's
tempting to place your belief in something else like a job, a
business partner, the economy, or a certain opportunity. This
can be good for awhile, but it's a simple fact of life that
people, places, and conditions are changeable. Your success is
ultimately created by you, for you. Be willing to take some
risks, and be sure to claim your rewards.
All great endeavors will be tested. Facing one's fears
can require tremendous amounts of self-work and courage. If it's
something you really, really want, it can take years. But then
at some point you make the leap into action and it's glorious!
You're flying high and free. Then oops, something doesn't go
according to plan and you begin to fall a little bit. That can
be so scary! Setbacks do not mean you're failing. Use them as
opportunities to deepen and refine your true beliefs.
You're a natural born flyer--the world's one-and- only
"you". The magic feather of "belief" is the mind's way of
remembering what is already true.
