Turn-Fear-To-Power

A few years ago, the US Army carried out a research project to find out what made the best soldiers. They weren’t looking to see if this had anything to do with lack of fear because they felt that fear and the emotional reaction that came with it was something that would sharpen a person’s senses. In their research, they wanted to see how people could respond to fear and go into a heightened state of awareness, where they could shake off the fear. They wanted to see what the emotional reaction was and how it could be used to get things done. The army came up with a simple test. They took some well trained soldiers and ordered them to give a speech on a topic that they know nothing about. These soldiers were to give the speech in front of a large group of people that were total strangers to them. These soldiers were literally thrust into the
unknown. The army then monitored the reaction. For every single person who took part in this research test, their heart rate shot up, their blood pressure spiked, there was an increase in dry mouth and in rapid shallow breathing. This is everything that is associated with a person who is stressed and reacting to the stress. The psychiatrists were looking for those soldiers who
could psychologically and physically return to a normal state after the initial shock. They felt that these soldiers would be the ones to lead. They found that the best soldiers were able to do
this. These soldiers took the impact of the initial shock of the fear and they were able to quickly reorient themselves to a state where they took advantage of the adrenaline that was pumping through their bodies. They were able to take advantage of the heightened state of awareness that fear can bring. When I think about turning fear into power, I think that fear is power –
and it really depends on how we use it. There are so many people who crumble under fear
and these people become fear’s servant. They become a slave to the fear. Fear can act like a ball
and chain or a straight jacket on your life if you let it. Take the fear, recognize it. Understand that it’s not an absence of fear but a heightened level of courage that lets you go ahead and move forward. Overcoming the Fear I ask myself questions on a regular basis. I have questions that relate to different areas of my personal and business life. I have what I call question banks.
I collect questions from other people, from watching movies and from reading books.
Following are two different levels of questions.
