Facing YOU- The fear, facts and rising
“Fear doesn't go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.”
― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
We are who we are and yet we sacrifice ourselves to win accolades and approvals from others so often. We struggle to portray us in the truest form of who we are.
We give up and choose not to fight. “Resistance” as Pressfield calls in his book “War of Art” is nothing but the fear that keeps us from doing the work we want to. You suffer resistance only for the things that mean most to you and are scared to commit.
To commit and get rid of the “Resistance”, you have to be there to practice your art, work, job anything you want to be cent percent focussed on. Which can only mean that you have to change the way you think and sometimes just be there even when you are scared.
And more than 90% fail to do the simple act of showing up and regret it.
The 5 second rule of Mel Robbins talks about getting rid of the habit of not showing up by just counting till 5 and just doing it. Don’t give yourself the time to think.
Re-wiring your brain and how you go about it can be done multiple ways- your way that you can discover for yourself or following the various school of thoughts.
One way can be of Dr. Cathy Coulatt, who in an interview talks about the steps required:
- Trust your subconscious
- Find more details and applaud it before you judge it
- Set the intention and make a promise (to ensure subconscious doesn’t work against it)
- Get examples- where you see similar people like yourself take the journey you want to take and be sucessful.
- Solidify and affirm- on your promise to yourself and your new belief.
This is life long commitment, it not about fake it till you make it scenario. You confirm and affirm everyday and show up. You can be afraid and yet show up. You can be very sure that it wont work out and yet show up. You can fail and yet know you are so sure of it that you still keep on doing it. Show up.
You and me, can be afraid to take that leap , to let ourselves wander to the what-if land, lack the courage to do the work we are meant to do and yet feel that uneasiness of something that we are supposed to do.
So, stop doubting or doubt yourself so you prepare more and get up and get on with it. It cant be more different than what its now because no ones knows yet what you want to be.
Change the way you think, the actions you take everyday and the accept that the struggle is real to be inspired consistently. Show up and act on it and thats what we can control and do everyday.
Face yourself, not others.

The traditional models are so yesterday.
You had to walk into a room full of people to network, travel for attending seminars and cold call/email to find a mentor.
Today, things have undergone a massive change, yes we still do all of the above but nothing is limited to how much you are willing to spend.
And thats a big advantage for so many, for those who want to learn, for students who are cash strapped, for those who don’t want to fly for hours to get to another country. We are all trying to connect- to the right person, right job, right level of experience and right emotions.
And we believe, well most of us at least that connections can get us to the point, carry us when we need an extra nudge.
At SIPM Connect, we do just that. Its a FREE forum for anyone to connect. Available globally, the idea is projected in an interactive platform, where you are free to find the right level of connection.
The profile creation is simple and fast, clear and to the point. And yet personalised for another person to reach out to you whether within your group (e.g newbie) or the other (e.g.mentor). Get the entire overview as soon as you login, effective and time saving. Browse through the group of your interest, find the connections and hear back from them in the same forum.
Click the group to explore the world, literally. Choose from countries, industries and drill down to keywords to find the mentor/network you need in the domain you would like.
And yes I will say it again- its free. Built as a way to give back to the community with the confidence that everyone wants to create the right connection and everyone should have the right to.
