I do not know about you but I kind of grown accustomed to the fact that when people write an article they try to fill this article with something more complex (not in the language, but in substance) than a few trivialities. For the increasing number of articles on this site I get a feeling that Steve neither tries to do this nor is capable of doing it.
Yes, absolutely. To the extent suggested by the depth of the article, I can imagine that any given person knows how to handle his fears as well. The entire article can be summarized into "you have fears and you have to know what they are to overcome them". I can not believe you or anyone else did not know this before.
I fully appreciate that you may have had some non-trivial and valuable thoughts while reading the article. I, however, state that you could have had these (and other) thoughts without reading it, just by having yourself think in the general direction of "fears". Occasionally stimulating thoughts about abstract things like "fears" is not nearly enough for a blog claiming to be about self-improvement, yet alone for the business centered around it. |
Certainly. People could probably learn to do everything ever written in every personal development book every written if they sat down to think about it. That's nothing new.
Sometimes people are blind to what's in front of them. Sometimes they don't think things are that simple. Sometimes people are so used to patterns that they never think to sit down and actually consider how to tackle problems like fear. I'm guilty of this. When I look back, I wonder how I could have been so sleepy to let bad habits go on for so long, etc - but I am what I am and sometimes I need a little wake-up call to make me look at what's right in front of me.
