Hi {FIRSTNAME} and welcome to today's issue of Keeping in Touch.
A big, warm 'hello' to all our new subscribers.
We all need a little positive reinforcement. It may come in
words of understanding or comfort. You might receive some
constructive criticism from family or friends. Use all of it
to better yourself, your attitude and your approach to the way
you are doing things. If some of the comments don't apply
simply set them aside but don't lose the message. When you
ask for support or an opinion, don't be so callous as to throw
it all away if you disagree with one or two points. If an
aspect of your life isn't working or your business isn't running
the way you expected, then perhaps it's time to start listening
to what your friends, your peers and business associates are
trying to tell you.
There's a wealth of insight in today's Feature Article from
Monty Sharp. Are You Fighting the Wrong Enemy? explains the
different aspects of fear and what it can do to the well being
of you and your business. It's not just fear you need to be
concerned about. It's what that fear can do to you if you don't
understand where it's coming from and how to deal with it.
Our Special Feature by Linda E. Knight is It's Up to You to Make
Your Dreams Come True. This is the second in a series on Dreams.
I found a couple of neat tools for you to use so be sure to
check out Hot Tips. Back issues of KIT can be found here:

I'm happy to report that we are back on track with Tom at Tons
of Hits so your subscriber ads will start coming through once
again. I thank you for your patience and understanding for
those whose ads were 'lost'.
Have a great day {FIRSTNAME} and keep on smiling.

Are You Fighting the Wrong Enemy?
By Monty J. Sharp, Certified Comprehensive Coach
http://www.workteamcoaching.com
I read many articles weekly written by respected authors who give
their impression of what holds people back from achieving success
in life, business, whatever. The number one obstacle listed by
most?
Fear.
Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of any or all of a dozen
or more things - real or imagined. Fear, it would seem, is the
enemy we must conquer in order to reach the "Promised Land" of
our dreams and goals.
I respectfully disagree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, "A hero is no braver than an
ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer."
Everyone has fears - even the extraordinarily successful. In
fact, fear can be a quite useful thing. Many times it keeps us
from doing things that could prove harmful - or just downright
stupid. So why then do some achieve their dreams while others do
not? I believe the secret lies in knowing the right enemy to
conquer.
You see, I do not believe that fear is the real enemy, but rather
what fear produces in us - that is the real enemy we must
conquer. What does fear produce in us that becomes the enemy to
our achievements and accomplishments?
-- A belief in the "fundamental lie". The fundamental lie is
that false assumption, misunderstanding or inaccurate life
formula that dictates many of our thoughts and actions and,
therefore, results. Our fear screams to us, "What if you fail?"
The fundamental lie whispers, "You will fail. There's no use in
trying." Our actions are based on what we believe as truth in
the moment.
-- Complacency. Quite simply stated, we settle for the mediocre.
The status quo. It has been said that before any meaningful
change can occur, we must become wholly dissatisfied with the
status quo. Fear often produces in us a complacency that far
outweighs our dissatisfaction with the status quo, so we settle
for less.
-- "Paralysis by analysis". Our fear often produces an
overwhelming need to "figure it all out", to get all of our
"ducks in a row". Don't misunderstand me here, I'm not
suggesting that there's something wrong with planning and
weighing options. However, there's a vast different between
strategic planning and in trying to work out every conceivable
scenario that may occur. The former is followed by strategic
action. The latter is followed by more analysis and ultimately,
inaction, meaning," We're 'stuck'."
-- Hopelessness. The ultimate enemy that fear can produce in us
is hopelessness. It is the feeling that says, "There's no use."
This is the enemy that most often deals the fatal blow to our
dreams and aspirations. When you have hope, you have the power
to act. When you are hopeless, you are powerless.
Are you fighting the wrong enemy? Stop trying to overcome your
fear and look rather to what it may be producing in you. That is
the real enemy.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to
continue that counts."
- Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill (1874-1965)

It's Up to You to Make Your Dreams Come True
This life is the only one you're given.
Look for opportunities to grow,
and never be discouraged
in your efforts to do so.
Replace your weaknesses with positives;
take life's broken pieces
and re-create your dreams.
Never measure the future by the past;
let yesterday become a memory
and tomorrow a promise.
Begin each day by focusing
on all that is good,
and you'll be in a position
to handle whatever comes along.
Take responsibility for your actions;
never make excuses
for not being the best you can be.
If you should slip,
be comforted by the thought
that we all do at times.
Determine your tomorrow
by the choices you make today,
and you'll find yourself living
in joy and triumph.
