<p>There is a powerful force that stops you from speaking up.<br />
It is the same force that prevents you from making your<br />
voice count and it is the reason why others ignore you or<br />
fail to appreciate what you have to offer.</p>
<p>In fact, this force is responsible for most of the lack of<br />
enjoyment, fulfillment and even the limited appreciation<br />
you experience in your day to day life.</p>
<p>Why is this? Because this force keeps people away from you<br />
and stops you from connecting with people you want to know<br />
better.</p>
<p>Thankfully, there is a solution and those who know how have<br />
overcome the same negative force that holds you back. These<br />
people enjoy superior relationships, greater career success<br />
and a busy social life with friends who love and appreciate<br />
them.</p>
<p>I am talking about the fear that stops you from approaching<br />
new people, saying what is really on your mind or<br />
expressing your true personality.</p>
<p>If you ever feel like you need either permission to speak<br />
up or approval from someone before really being yourself<br />
then you know what I mean. It´s as if the rules you learned<br />
as a child are still governing your life: only speak when<br />
spoken to.</p>
<p>Unfortunately as adults we know what happens when we wait<br />
for permission to speak up. That´s right, someone else<br />
takes our place!</p>
<p>Imagine for a moment what your life would be like if you<br />
could drop this tendency to hold yourself back. Your<br />
typical day would be so different. Think of the fun you<br />
would have joking with people.</p>
<p>Imagine all the new people you´d get to know and think<br />
about how good you would feel being an active participant<br />
rather than hiding on the periphery of the group.</p>
<p>Right now, it is as if an imaginary barrier is keeping you<br />
away from other people. And yes, it is imaginary, it is not<br />
real except in your mind.</p>
<p>The people who connect with others, those who are all<br />
smiles and radiating warm confidence simply look at the<br />
world differently. The world is not different &#8211; it merely<br />
looks different to them. You can join them when you drop<br />
the self imposed restrictions that are holding you back.</p>
<p>Face your fears and drop them one by one. You do this by<br />
changing how you think &#8211; not by changing the world. As soon<br />
as you feel differently about dealing with people others<br />
will notice the change in you and start treating you<br />
differently.</p>
<p>That´s the funny thing about life &#8211; to change the world<br />
change yourself and the people in your world will follow<br />
your lead. They respond to you by reflecting back how you<br />
feel about yourself.</p>
<p>If you feel good about yourself, if you feel confident and<br />
at ease others assume you to be confident and at ease. They<br />
then respect you more. And all because you decided to<br />
respect yourself.</p>
<p>But, when you are fearful you give off different vibes and<br />
because you are avoiding people they tend to avoid you.</p>
<p>And this is why you must identify and let go of your<br />
conversation fear &#8211; the fear that stops you from enjoying<br />
the company of others.</p>
<p>Drop the fear and notice how people are much more<br />
interested in getting to know you better. Why? Because you<br />
are letting your true personality shine.</p>
