Law of Attraction Principles - Ask and You Shall Get - Part 4

All it takes to manifest your dream is simply asking for it, with the right state of mind. In the previous articles we covered some elements of the right state of mind - positive outlook, being ready to receive, asking why not how. In today’s article we will discuss the next element in having the right state of mind and that is….Having no fear of success.

It might seem absurd to say that someone could be fearful of success. Fear of success is very real, as much as it seems absurd. When everyone wants success in achieving their dreams, why would anyone in their right mind be fearful of success? Although this is a tough question, let’s first understand what fear of success is.

Success means change, change in your environment, change in your lifestyle, change in the way you do things and more. The key thing to notice here is Change. It is a natural human behavior to resist change. With success comes Freedom and Responsibility. If you have trouble being responsible when you have the freedom, that’s when fear of success creeps in.

When you are successful you are going to have lot more choices than what you have right now. When you have many choices you have to make decisions, some that people near and dear to you will approve of and some that they won’t approve. Though you may recognize these, the thoughts are real and could be lingering in your subconscious mind.

You have to sit down find your answers to these questions and be confident that you can handle success even at a subconscious level. Lot of times people think success as a destination and that is one of the reasons why they lose sense of further direction having reached the destination. To handle this you need to ask yourself what you will be doing after achieving your dream, what changes will you make to your lifestyle and more.

When you look inwards about the freedom that you will get with accomplishing your dreams, go a step further and think about all those that you will be able to do. Also understand the responsibilities that come along with achieving your dreams. Think through it if you really want to achieve your dreams in spite of all the additional responsibilities that come along with that. Only when you have that level of acceptance you will be able to eliminate the fear of success.

And when you go through this exercise you might get insights into what you really desire for. It might even turn out that what you really want is something else and not the one that you asked for. If you ask for something that you really didn’t want and realize that only after having achieved it, you will still not be truly happy. So this is a critical step in the process of manifesting your dreams. Confront your thoughts all the way until you are totally confident and have no fear of success.

We have been discussing about asking with the right mindset and the four elements of having the right mindset – positive outlook, being ready to receive, asking why not how and having no fear of success.
