I try to read the fifteenth chapter of Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This chapter is titled “How to Outwit the Six Ghosts of Fear." In this episode we cover the main reason for the six ghosts of fear - Worry.

Hill says the basis for worry is indecision. It zaps confidence and shrounds you in over thinking leading to worry. There is only one cure to indecision, and that is prompt and firm decision making.

Worry and worrisome not only delays and weakens judgement, but it comes off as weak and insecure. This is a form of mental telepathy which others receive as well. When you're worried, people sense it. Friends help you through it, and enemies take advantage of it. Either way, worry makes you vulnerable. Avoid it.

Hill also details a concept which is not a fear, but more dangerous than any of the six fears. He describes this as the Devil's workshop, or negative influences. If you allow yourself to be swayed by these negative influences, you will float around until negativity takes you. Instead, find out a prevention for it, for there is no natural immunity. Everyone is swayed, but not everyone allows this to take over them. Be that person!
