Turning fear into faith to put you on the path to success

There is one piece of advice that people hear all the time: “take a risk.”

Often times, this is easier said than done. During December’s Professional Women’s Alliance luncheon, Catherine Alonzo, CEO of Javelina, spoke about the importance of setting goals, how fear can get in the way of completing them and how taking a little risk can lead to big results.

“You can accomplish any goal you want to, you just can’t do it all at once,” said Alonzo. “If you have too many goals it can cause you to become discouraged and abandon all your goals.”

Highlighting the power of belief, Alonzo stated that the lack of belief has a huge impact on whether a person accomplishes a goal.

“Belief drives actions,” Alonzo said. “Everything we do is because of belief, and with limited belief you will most certainly have limited results.”

Alonzo further addressed why people lack belief in their goals, and how it can hinder their growth.

“Fear is essential for human survival, but it often gets in our way,” said Alonzo. “Fear creates a limited belief in us, which in turn creates limited action.”

Alonzo acknowledged that for everyone, fear is driven by something deeply emotional. She explained, that when an individual can turn that fear into faith, they will often realize that the fear was never rational.

Recalling a time when she took a leap of faith to be honest with a friend and was surprised to receive a positive response, Alonzo explained that many times people build a false scenario in their head and that is when fear enters the equation.

Instead, Alonzo suggested that people should turn their fear into faith. She explained that taking little risks still get results.

“If you take little risk upon little risk, you can do anything you put your mind to and will find unlimited results,” said Alonzo.

When setting goals, Alonzo shared that it’s better to keep an open mind to avoided being thrown off track by unexpected events.

“Just take the next step instead of planning out your whole goal process,” said Alonzo. “You will learn along the way and be better prepared for adjustment.”
