DON'T LET FEAR GUIDE YOU OR TAKE YOU BY THE HAND - THERE IS MORE TO LIVING THEN THIS- PUT YOUR FEAR OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, AND LOOK IT IN THE EYE- DECIDE THAT YOU CAN CONQUER IT WITH A RATIONAL STATE OF MIND- OBSERVE IT REALISTICALLY AND SEE IN IT WHAT'S TRUE- THEN BIT BY BIT YOU WILL DISOVER POWER- AND PEACE WILL RESIDE IN YOU Living with fear can disrupt your whole life, stop you from attaining your dreams, goals, even effect your family and friends. Everyone has fear, it is a natural part of our self. It is our hidden 'flight or fight' response that actually helps us in many situations. Of course if severe, you can always seek the help from a professional- but 'talking it out' and looking at them realistically is important- "Am I over reacting? Is this situation reallly reason enough for me to feel THIS fearful? What is the worst that could happpen" If I ie: 'go try out for that job', 'make that speech', 'confront an issue with my Boss' etc... will I actually die?! No! Unless you are thinking of going over Niagra Falls in a barrel. Our REACTIONS to events and life around us are in OUR control. We CAN choose the way we react to events and people around us. We have the power if we practice- think OBJECTIVELY about your thoughts and feelings. Think them through, and you may find that your 'fearful' beliefs are unrealistic. Accept reality, no one is perfect, we can strive to be our best, but to believe in 'perfection' is a fallacious attitude that can only lead to constant frustration . No one can 'make' you feel any certain way, you CAN choose the way you react and feel. Knowing that, and understanding your feelings and why you feel that way while using a 'realistic approach' in your thinking will get you far. Try it. WHEN YOU FEEL ANXIOUS, OR AFRAID- TAKE A BREATH AND TAKE A LOOK AT- THE FEAR THAT LIVES INSIDE OF YOU; TOSS IT OUT AND STARE IT DOWN; THEN REMEMBER THIS: YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEARS YOU HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE IT THE RATONAL, SKEPTIC EYE- JUST AS THE WHEEL OF THE CAR- YOU HAVE THE CONTROL OF IT IT DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER YOU WHEN THIS YOU SEE, YOU WILL FIND; A POWER INSIDE A RENEWED PEACE OF MIND THEN IRRATIONAL FEAR WILL START TO BOUNCE IN ANOTHER DIRECTION' AWAY...... |

| " Fear cannot be banished, but it can be calm & without panic; and it can be mitigated by reason & evaluation. - Vannevar Bush (1890-1974), American electrical engineer, physicist" The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly & without fear for newer & richer experience. - Anna Eleanor Roosevelt " He who fears he will suffer, already suffers from his fear. - Michel de Montaigne (1553-1592) " The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change & control your life; & the procedure, the process is its own reward. - Robyn Davidson |
