Reversing Fear The Secret Ability of Every Powerful Person by Paul Melinte Reversing Fear The Secret Ability of Every Powerful Person Thank you for requesting this free download! This article is about an emotion that may accompany any of the five habits that you will learn about through reading my ebook, Be Your Best Self! Five Powerful Habits of a Mentally Strong Person. You’ll hear more about that book at the end of this article. But first, let me tell you just a little bit about who I am….  I was born on February 5, 1985, in a little village in Romania. Romania is a picturesque country in the southeast of Europe, but compared to most western countries, is quite poor and undeveloped, especially in the rustic regions. As a child I was quite shy and began spending a lot of time reading books. I started with novels, and then moved on to psychology books, astrology, esotericism, business books, political analysis articles, self development, psychiatry, and so on. I actually read everything that crossed my path and that piqued my curiosity, especially if the book was related in some way to subjects like personal evolution, the future, money, and offered either uncommon or general knowledge. Not having anyone in my life, either as a child or as an adult, who would share their interests and passions with me, I often avoided telling people what I was actually thinking. I was afraid they’d see me as a weird individual. Ironically, that ended up happening anyway because, unfortunately, reading books or ebooks was not such a popular habit in my village (especially among children). At school I handled myself quite well and was one of the top pupils in my class. But the truth is that I was completely bored with most of my classes (often due to the teachers) Copyright © 2015 Paul Melinte / http://www.rqmind.com/5-habits 1 and in those classes I never gave my all. In contrast, when I really liked a class, I worked to my fullest capacities and got the highest grades. After finishing high school, I didn’t have enough money to attend a good university, nor did I have any idea what I wanted to do with my life. So I chose to get a job and I worked in a variety of places until 2010. That’s when I quit my last job, which was with the Romanian Army. Since 2010, I have been working only for me! It has already been twelve years since I finished high school, and I’ve taken my life seriously as an adult. I’ve experienced a great deal during this period of my life and I’ve had a significant number of life lessons. If I could give you one piece of advice for reading this short download, or about reading in general, it would be this: “Don’t EVER forget that the main role of education is not to fill your head with new information; it’s to bring about beneficial changes in your life, helping you think and act in better ways, compared to how you thought and acted previously.” I sincerely hope this article will help to make these changes begin for you.  So now, let the following words introduce you to one way that you can start moving your life in the direction of your dreams… let’s get into it! Is it possible that fear can become your best friend and assist you in doing things that you never thought you’d be capable of doing? Yes, it’s possible! But for this to happen, you must stop treating your fear as an enemy and learn to understand that fear is nothing more than a two-edged sword: an edge that is making you tremble with doubt and an edge that will help you cut through negativity and overcome limitations. Mentally strong people understand this very well. 2 http://www.rqmind.com/5-habits / Copyright © 2015 Paul Melinte In fact, this understanding has given birth to one of the most powerful habits of powerful people: reversing fear. What does it mean to “reverse fear,” and how can that help you? Have you ever dreamt of doing something great with your life, but for various reasons, you never took any steps toward fulfilling that dream because you were paralyzed with fear? What if, in such situations, rather than letting the fear paralyze you, you consciously chose to use it to your advantage? What if you were to establish, precisely because of fear, much bigger dreams than those that are frightening you in the first place? Is that really possible? Well, I believe it is, but it can sometimes be quite difficult. Still, it is very much worth the effort, and I wouldn’t be talking about this topic if I hadn’t experimented with this question myself, at least two times in my life. The first time was in January of 2010. At that time, I was working for the Ministry of National Defense in Romania. I had what one might call “a secure job.” There was only one problem: I wasn’t earning enough money. So, taking advantage of the fact that I had plenty of free time, I decided to look for a second job. I ended up working part time as a real estate agent, in what happened to be a very slow market. Even though it was such a poor market at the time, I eventually started realizing that if I were to work full time in real estate, and start my own company, I’d make a lot more money than I would by keeping my job in the military and working only part time in real estate. I also realized that there were additional advantages, such as not having a boss to stress me out, no tight schedule, the possibility of setting up my own rules and procedures, etc. Basically, it was a beautiful dream, but… Copyright © 2015 Paul Melinte / http://www.rqmind.com/5-habits 3 ... I had no money stashed away (in fact, I was even in debt) and I was also renting an apartment in Bucharest (the capital of Romania), quite an expensive city compared to other cities in the country. I recognized that I had to choose one of two options:  I could be satisfied with the little I had, remain in the military field, and give up the real estate job (I could no longer do both); or  I could take a risk, quit my job, borrow several hundred dollars to start my own business, and pray that in the first month I’d earn enough money to pay for at least my rent and food… gambling that my risk would pay off in having a better life! I think you can imagine it was a hell of a tough choice. If I took the risk and resigned from the army, the future could end up mighty bleak because I could be left without any money and few prospects. I admit that, for a while, I thought my life wasn’t all that bad, and maybe if I remained in the army, someday the wages might increase and I’d be happier with my situation. But then a miracle happened. Without consciously realizing it, I was able to reverse my fear and I made one of the best decisions of my life. Suddenly, I understood that if I were to quit my job and fail to make it on my own in the real estate business, the only thing I risked was having to return to my parents’ house in my hometown and live without a dime in my pocket for a while. I admit that I was terrified at the time of that situation, however, because doing this wouldn’t just affect me, but my family as well. But then I asked myself another question: if I were to remain in the army, what opportunities would I actually be losing? I sat with this important question a long time, and the answer that finally came to me drastically changed my life. I remembered that my greatest dream was to become an 4 http://www.rqmind.com/5-habits / Copyright © 2015 Paul Melinte entrepreneur. My dream wasn’t to work in the military. In fact, I ran from the army my entire life and only ended up with that job because I had been misinformed. The longer I held this question in mind, and the more clarity I gained about my options, the greater my fear was of losing the real opportunity in front of me to become an entrepreneur. My initial fear that I might have to live for a time without money became increasingly smaller. I recognized that I wouldn’t actually be losing any opportunities of value to me by leaving my army job, and I finally got to the point that it seemed silly to be scared of possibly having to be without money for a while. I wrote my resignation letter with a smile. This is what it’s like to reverse your fear. And thanks to that process, it’s been more than five years since I’ve been an employee. Did I make the right choice? You bet I did! I’ve gone through heavy moments, however. Yes, I’ve gone through some very heavy moments! In the first years, I managed quite well in real estate, even having some great gains in my first month. But after about two years, the real estate crisis forced me into another career change. After investing so much time, hope, and energy into studying and working in the real estate business, I had to reverse my fear all over again. But because I had such success doing that the first time around, I was ready to do it again. This time I switched to online marketing. I can say with pride that my business got to the point where I was able to earn as much in under 24 hours of work as I had earned in an entire month as a military man. This pales in comparison, however, to what I could have done if I had made reversing my fear a daily habit! This is what the richest and most powerful people in the world have done. Copyright © 2015 Paul Melinte / http://www.rqmind.com/5-habits 5 While I have reversed my fear accidentally two times in recent years, such people have made it a daily habit. Although I’m not a millionaire (yet), I learned about this from Tai Lopez, a super intelligent man who also happens to be a millionaire. At one point, he stated that he has friends who are multi-millionaires, maybe even billionaires, who are trying to reverse their fears all the time, no matter what happens, good or bad. For example, if one of these guys were to break up with his girlfriend, before going into self-pity and gloom he would ask himself: what was the opportunity cost of this relationship? In other words, what was I losing by having this relationship, and what are the opportunities that I can now enjoy since it has ended? I’m not saying that the man is devoid of feelings, superficial, or some other negative label you might want to apply. He has simply learned how to manage his emotions and focus on his dreams. And while it might seem like this is nothing more than the classic advice to see the full cup/bright side of things, the truth is that it’s much more than that. Because if you were to go to that same man and say something like, “Hey, I have a deal for you that will bring you $1 million,” he would be very upset! Why? It’s simple! He’ll think of you as distracting him from his dream of making hundreds of millions or even $1 billion per year. Unlike many of us, mentally strong people know that businesses and opportunities are like trains: a new one is always coming into the station, but few are those that take you to your destination. Of those that do, some take you there faster, others more slowly. That’s exactly why you need to be very selective about which train you take, and you must refuse to listen to your little fears that are constantly repeating: “If you don’t get onto that one, no others will come your way.” 6 http://www.rqmind.com/5-habits / Copyright © 2015 Paul Melinte This doesn’t mean that you should be negligent and get on no trains. It means that when you do get on a train, you need to be certain that it’s the best train you will ever be on in that moment. And if you ever feel like you should get onto a train, but you are afraid, you should ask yourself: what will I really lose if I miss this train?  And now … here’s what I suggest you do, so that you can be certain that you haven’t wasted any time reading this short ebook:  Choose the most important thing you want, but are afraid, to do.  Contemplate for several minutes, or an hour or more, what you will really lose if you don’t do it.
