http://mindpersuasion.com/fearless/ If you are afraid of something, chances are you are putting meaning into it that simply isn't there. Here's how to change that: http://mindpersuasion.com/fearless/

1. Eliminate Mind Mismatches

2. The other night I watched that
Facebook movie on Netflix.

3. They had those guys that were on the
rowing teams.

4. Most sports are a combination of
skills, strengths, endurance, strategy
and teamwork.

5. But in that kind of competition,
teamwork can make or break you.

6. You can be weaker physically, but if
you are "in sync" much more than
everybody else, you'll win.

7. When I was in high school I had this
girlfriend.

8. After the initial excitement wore off,
our dates were pretty similar.

9. "Where do you want to go?"

10. "I dunno, where do you want to go?"

11. And we'd end up driving around in
circles.

12. Not really circles, but we wouldn't ever
do anything interesting, since we
never had much of a plan.

13. One of the secrets of a good
relationship is compatibility.

14. Sure, there's got to be physical and
emotional attraction, but if you aren't
mostly compatible, it's not going to
work.

15. One thing that can mess up us humans
is the idea of a "mismatch."

16. We can be mismatched in our jobs,
wrong skills at the wrong company.

17. In a relationship.

18. In a major in college.

19. Even choosing a movie to watch.

20. You get about ten minutes in and
think, "Hmm. This isn't for me."

21. One of the most common mismatches
is our instincts.

22. They were designed to help us during
hunter gatherer times, but they mess
us up now.

23. Like eating.

24. Back then, it made sense to eat
everything in sight whenever you
could.

25. Not so much now.

26. Back then, everybody was egalitarian.

27. Meaning they all shared the wealth,
which in those days was food.

28. But now, you see some ultra rich
person in front of you at the
supermarket, on some level it FEELS
like they're "cheating" because they
are not sharing with you.

29. But unless you know HOW they got all
their money, you can't really judge
them.

30. Assuming "cause-effect" relationships
were none exist is also a holdover.

31. Back then, even if you were wrong
nine times out of ten, but that one
time out of ten kept you alive,
assuming cause effect relationships
where none existed (loud noises
equals danger, for example) kept you
alive.

32. The ancient dudes who wanted to
investigate everything in meticulous
detail eventually got eaten.

33. However, there are WAY more
variables today than back then.

34. Not only that, but it's WAY less
dangerous.

35. So those "cause-effect" relationships
we assume are true are FALSE
probably 99.99% of the time.

36. And when they ARE true, we wont'
die. Not even close. Maybe feel some
social discomfort.

37. But our ancient brains haven't been
updated.

38. Or at least not very much.

39. The good news is with some consistent
and creative imagination, journaling,
and VERY SMALL risks on a daily basis,
you can retrain your brain to see the
world much more accurately, and
much more in your favor.

40. So taking those actions to get you
what you want (money,
companionship, sex, fame, social
status, income, wealth, whatever) will
be natural and easy.
