There is a social fear that has a grip on so many people's minds. I hope you're
not stopped by this social fear. Let's talk about fears. Oh. my goodness. You can
look on the internet and you can look up some sites that say that there are over
3000 different kind of fears. In fact, there's even a fear about peanut butter
being stuck to the top of your mouth. There's just unreal amounts of fear out
there. But I want to talk to you about a fear that could have your mind literally
paralyzed. Like you can't even take action in your life. You can't even do
anything because this fear is just like eating you up and just got you just
stuck. This fear costs you a lot of time. And cost you a lot of money and it's
probably right now stopping you from even moving forward.
The fear is this. What Others Are Thinking About Me? Do you know that you
worry about what others are thinking about you? You worry about that every
single day. "Hey, if I do this, what are people going to say about me? Hey, if I get
on the internet and start sharing videos, what are people going to think about me? Hey,
if we buy a new car, what are the neighbors going to think about us? Hey, if we
move into a new house, what's the family going to think about us?" There's a
constant social fear inside people's minds where they're trying to figure out
what is going on. In fact, when we worry about what people think about us,
we make up stories. All kinds of stories. We make up all kinds of stories because
we actually don't know what they're thinking. So, we actually put our mind in
a place where it has to make up stories and then because it has to make up
stories, that makes up terrible stories. Like these people are going to not like me.
These people are going mock me, these people are going to tease me.
And we make up these stories that literally cause us to believe the very
story we made up is true. Now, we not only have worried about what people think,
we've made up what they're thinking. And now we think it's true. And then we don't
dare take action on it because that story might happen. Wow!
And if this is not you, if this is not you, you know somebody who's pretty much
caught in the mess of this social fear. Why is it that we worry about what
people think? Well, there's a really big reason. Because if people don't like us,
then they'll reject us. And if they reject us then we're not part of the
tribe. And if we're not part of the tribe, then we may starve to death and we'll be
out in the wilderness by ourselves and the lions and tigers and bears will eat
us. I mean really, we have that kind of weird
fear. That we're socially going to be rejected. And so, we care about what
people are thinking about because we just don't want to be rejected. But the
weird, dumb thing is we don't know what people are really thinking. As we make up
a story. Okay, but what... Wait a minute. What if we, what if we actually made up a
better story? What if we actually instead of making up a terrible story, what if
you got a grip on your brain and you decided to make a better story? What if
you decided to think, "Wow! My family is going to be so excited that I'm getting a
new car. Oh! My neighbors are going to love that our family just got a new boat. Oh,
my goodness. My friends are going to be so excited. I just let go of another 20
pounds. They're going to be so tickled for me." Hey, since we're going to make up a story,
while we make up a good story. So you, if you're still creating this social fear
and you're creating these made-up terrible stories, you're going to choke
yourself to death and your progress. You're not even going to try to do anything
because you keep thinking it's all going to turn out bad. And people are
mock you, tease you and you think they're going to just say all this bad stuff. But
you're in charge of your story. You can make a better story. That if you did get
online and create videos to help people, that people would love them. That you'll
change people's lives. And if you did do something great, that people would be so
tickled that you're such a great example. I know right now you're thinking, "Oh,
that'll never happen." So, why is it that you believe the negative but you don't
believe the positive stories? I'll tell you why. Us as human beings, we have more
negative thoughts go through our head during the day than positive thoughts. We
do. We generally are negative inside of our head. But today's a good day for you
to get a grip on this social fear and you change your story so the stories
turn out good. If you don't get control of your mind,
who is? Nobody else is around trying to get control of your mind. And since
you're going to make up a story about what others are thinking about you, you might
as well make up a better story. Because if not, you're going to stay stuck. The
social fear is going to keep you stuck from following through with your dreams, from
following through with your goals, from following through with your aspirations,
inspirations. All these things. You're going to keep worrying that they're going to
think bad thoughts about you. But you get control of your story and make a better
story that has a better ending. And since it's called this worry, but how about
it's like, "Wow, I'm excited for what people think about me. Because they're all
super tickled for me." That's a better story. Okay, make a better story today.
