Today the rental company gave me the phonenumber of the people who are living in my new houses. So I had to call them to make an appointment, so I could see the house from the inside, to decide if I actually want it. I was very nervous to call them, because I had no idea what kind of people they were. I noticed I was making excuses to myself: "I am too tired today, I will call them tomorrow" and "It's better to call later, they are probably at work now". But because I don't want too be affraid for stuff like this anymore, I DAFS'd, and found the following article in the DJ-bible:
What is fear besides a 4 letter word? Fear is that voice which tells you what you should and shouldn't do. It's the voice that tells you to avoid talking to that hot chick or to run away from problems in your life.The way I see it, fear is like a bully that tries to intimidate you. The more you listen to it and become a slave to it. The harder and stronger it comes onto you. But if you'll stand up to it, it dissappears. Because it knows it has no power over you.It has been said by many wise men over the years that fear is like an evil energy, which penetrates everyone who will allow it to! Picture yourself as a house, and all these enemies are trying to get in through your front door. If you stand up to them and tell them to get lost and lock the door. They leave. But if you leave the door wide open, in they come! They will hunt you and destroy your dreams! The next time fear trys to stop you from walking over and talking to that girl accross the room. Say to yourself mentally "back off! I'm not listen to this crap!" and walk right through the fear! You will notice that the fear will grab you (psychologically) and hold you back! This is when you need to be really strong and pull forward and do what feel is in your best interests!
After reading this, I grabbed the phone immediatley, and called the guy. It was an old man from Suriname. He said I could come immediatley if I wanted. And I did. On my way to and after checking out the house I had a great confidence. I was proud of myself, that I didn't gave in to my fears. After all, nothing bad happened. So the worrying I did earlier today was just a waste of time, as it usually is. I should keep that in mind for the next time im afraid to do something.
