SUCCESS OR FAILURE
Discipline may be a thing that is done with regards to children however an important factor it may be in raising children an overbalance of destructive criticism and punishment will ultimately lead to insecurities in a child. Later on in life these feelings eventually develop into fears of failure, the horrible fear of failure and probably the worst one of the lot the fear of success.
“Why are we scared to die? Do any of us remember being scared when we were born?” - Trevor Kay
UNDERSTANDING FEAR?
In order to overcome fear one needs to understand where the fear is coming from.
What problem is most the dominant problem in people’s lives?
People have the fear of living to the fullest. They sabotage their own efforts. Most people live their lives in this fear bondage. They develop habits of self sabotage and procrastination.It’s the most dominant problem in your life today. You need to see is which fear is it? Is it the fear of failure rejection or success?
“The only thing we have to fear is fear it’self – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”-Franklin D Roosevelt
BREAK YOUR FEAR HABIT
How would you break this habit? FEAR is not going away. It is here to stay. It is a gift. Remember you were born with only 3 Fears – Falling, loud noises and abandonment!
You see FEAR is a means of protection not destruction!
“There would be no one to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.”-Mahatma Gandhi
OUTSIDE FEARS
These are outside of you, typically the fear of spiders or snakes. This is brought on by a negative experience from your past manifesting itself in the present. You have made a negative emotional link and therefore you are motivated to avoid it. This is in most cases somebody else’s fear that is imprinted upon you and you adopt it believing it to be true.
“The greatest obstacle to love is fear. It has been the source of all defects in human behaviour throughout the ages.”-Mahmoud Mohammed Taha
THE SUBCONSCIOUS FEAR
The manifestation of our subconscious fear results in Self-Sabotage.This occurs when you achieve more then you belief you should so you sabotage yourself. This is when you think you are not good enough. Nobody told you that however you have somehow convinced yourself of that so you mess things up in your life. So as a result of this you motivate yourself to avoid a change and go back to where you believe you are supposed to be. This is typical of people who make a lot of money quickly and then go on a spending spree and then have no more money left.
“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth– more than ruin, more even than death.” -Bertrand Russell
INTERNAL FEARS
This is one that you link to a negative emotion from your past. This is something inside of you like low-self esteem. This is often adopted by the way you were treated by your parents and peers when you were a child as well as the things you experienced in your life. Your parents may treat you the way they were treated as a child
“To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.”-Bertrand Russell
YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
What you need is to experience the total opposite of fear and that is Love.A Strong Desire will cause you to overcome your fear. When you really love something and passionate towards it and truly believe in yourself, the desire within you will cause you to overcome any fear that comes towards you. You need to accept fear for what it is and must think to react appropriately towards it. This means you must control yourself and not let fear control you! You must develop love and courage. The best way to overcome fear is to face it head on.
“Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it.” – Lt. John B. Putnam Jr.
So today as we embrace a life of fearlessness, let’s proclaim:
I trust God 100%
I trust God Absolutely.
I trust God and nothing else.
I trust God instead of appearances or what I can see.
I trust God beyond what I feel.
I trust God in spite of less than favorable circumstances.
I trust God to never leave me or forsake me.
I trust God to meet ALL my needs.
