What
is Fear?
If you don't
learn how to control your emotions and mind, they will control you.
And I can
guarantee you, that you will not like the results!
Being in fear
dramatically limits what you can experience in your lifetime.
This happens
because we avoid what we fear, thus experiences that could possibly
benefit us,
empower us and
bring happiness are missed because we fear them.
If you are
afraid to ask your boss for a raise and you never do it, will you
ever get the raise,
or experience
the benefits of having gotten the raise?
No of course not!
Thus by being
afraid of asking for a raise, brings you what you imagined what would
happen if you did ask him.
You are
fearing asking for a raise for fear of humiliation and rejection if
the boss says no.
But by not
asking, you never get a raise, which achieves the same result no raise.
Not asking for
a raise also brings other results.
You never know
what would have happened if you did in fact ask.
So your mind
is always thinking about what would have happened if you would have.
You are
haunted by the unknown of what could have been.
You further
decrease your personal power because you yielded to the fear once
more again.
By yielding to
the fear again and again, it negatively affects your self-esteem.
It also
affects you on how you deal with other fears and problems, because
you lack
the confidence
and experience to deal with problems and fears head on.
It leads to
frustration and anger, when you don't see a solution to a
problem/fear or don't want to
confront the
fear or problem, most times we have to confront the fear or problem.
But what if we
don't? Are we not rejecting reality? What happens to things we don't
deal with?
They get
bigger and become more of a burden.
What if I
asked you to hold an average size glass of water. How heavy is the
glass of water?
Most people
would range between 1/8 pound to 1 pound.
Really the
weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it!
Hold it for a
minute, that's not a problem.
Hold it
for an hour and you will have an ache in your arm.
Hold it
for a day and you will probably have to call an ambulance.
Funny thing
is, it's the same weight, but the longer you hold it, the heavier it becomes.
If we carry
our fears and stresses all the time, sooner or later, as the burden
becomes
increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.
Next time you
feel a fear coming on, try something different, don't act in a
predictable way,
break the
cycle, see what happens, approach the situation with a different perspective,
control the
situation instead of the situation controlling you, slowly take back
your power,
bit by bit,
and monitor the results. Your goal here is Self Mastery.
By fearing
something you are giving your power and vital energy away.
You are
victimizing yourself, without anyone else doing it to you.
The more your
fear you have, the less power and control you are exerting over your reality.
Again why do
we do this do ourselves?
Are we afraid
of change?
Why would we
be afraid of change?
Because we
view ourselves at the mercy of our environment with no control.
Then imagine
circumstances in which we suffer at the hands of others, with no control.
LOL! Time to
wake up tame the beast called our mind that creates such imaginary horrors.
You want
change? Then change up your thoughts, change up your actions,
change up your
motivations, change up your intent and mean it.
Then you will
see your life change before your eyes.
INSTANTLY!
YES I MEAN INSTANTLY.
That is not a
figure of speech or an exaggeration.
The world is
yours, if you want it to be.
You can have
anything you desire, it really depends on how bad you want it,
and how far
you are willing to go to get it.
Why are there
so many unsuccessful, unhappy, unfulfilled, unloving people in the
world today?
It is in
direct proportion to how much fear they have inside.
It is
perfectly balanced.
That just
shows you how much fear is rampant in today's society.
There is an
old saying as follows:
---
There are
three types of people.
*
Those who make
things happen.
*
Those who
watch things happen.
*
and
Those who
wondered what happened.
---
Where you fit
in, is determined by how much fear (Negative Imagination - Illusion)
you let control you.
(I will
discuss how fear started in us, the root cause, and ways to deal with fear
in later
sections. I need to build up to it, for it contains many advanced concepts.)
May the
blessings be.
Posoul.
