The mind is a battle ground and you can win it or loose it in the arena of your mind - Creflo Dollar
Fear is an idea-crippling, experience crushing, success-stalling inhibitor inflicted only by yourself - Stephanie Melish (Sales Barista)
Fear causes you to worry. It cripples your mind from thinking right. It causes you to see dangers and obstacles. Fear makes you to worry and give excuses and talk about problems and disadvantages even in the midst of great abundance. Fear is a liar, making you believe that everything and everyone is against you. Fear will make you settle for less than your worth.
Do not be afraid, our fate cannot be taken from us; it is a gift - Dante Alighieri.
Life is a war, everyday is a battle, and if you must win you must be a warrior, a gladiator. You don't fight to loose, you fight to win. To win you must have strategies. Failure does not mean that you lost, it means that you lack skills in that particular thing that you lost. So when you fail, go back and build skills then come back and try again. If you loose again, then you missed something; check your skill level, what do you need to add? For every time you fail means that you lack skills/capacity. Building skills/capacity is a process and not a one time event. The world is moving faster than the speed of light. Technology is fast evolving at a speed faster than light. How do you cope with the swift trends?
Fear is not real, it is a product of thoughts you created. Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.
Could it be that the reason for experiencing no progress is fear? In the bible, Numbers 13, Moses sent out 12 men to spy the promise land - Canaan. They saw that the city is truly a fruitful land, but they saw giants and so their hearts fell them. They gave up the promise land for fear of giants. It doesn't matter what God promised them as long as they saw the giants, they cannot takeover the land. Fear keeps you stagnant; you lack mobility.
F.E.A.R has two meanings - "Forget Everything And Run" OR "Forget Everything And Rise." The choice is yours.
I love the definition of fear by Lisa Nicole, she said "Fear is a personal. Fear is asking for clarity." The feeling of fear is normal and does not mean negative. You have to assess your feeling when you have fears to know why you're afraid. According to wikipedia, Fear response arises from the perception of danger, leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (known as the fight - or - flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror), can be a freeze response or paralysis. Fear is an action of choice. So you can decide to fight or flight...wow. What have you been running away from that you could have stood to fight? You cannot conquer what you cannot confront.
Courage is knowing what not to fear - Plato.
How do you deal with fear? Replace it with courage. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage says yes I know I am afraid but I choose to stand and fight until my victory is won. Victory is not a one time event, it is a life-time process. Courage causes you to step out and act on your thoughts. Back to the bible description from the Book of Numbers 13, two men Joshua and Caleb, was full of courage to go takeover the land of Canaan regardless of the giants they saw. David killed Goliath, a giant, with a stone. Your giant is not as powerful as you perceive him to be. The only strength that the giant have is your perception of him. So if you perceive him to be powerless, he will be defeated. If you perceive him to be powerful than you, he will always defeat you.
When fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer.
Courage makes you to think and come up with ideas and solutions. As much as fear is an action of choice, so also is courage an action of choice too. The power that your lack, poverty, sickness, failure, disappointment, etc have, is the power that you gave to it. Your negative situation generate power from your perception. Change the way you see your problem. You are as powerful as God here on earth. You can do things unimaginable. You can achieve whatsoever your mind can think of.
The greatest act of courage is to keep going when everything in you wants to turn and run.
Do you know that God will only help you when you acknowledge that you can achieve your dreams? Oh yes. Stop whining and get up and do something. If you don't have money to go to school, you can buy books to study at home. If you don't have money to start that business, you can build it with partners,start small, start based on integrity, but if none is working don't quit. Sit back and think and re-strategize and learn from your failures too because most breakthroughs happen when you learn from mistakes and failures. Be limitless in your thinking and never doubt your ability to produce solution to every problem. You are a god on earth and so behave like one. They said all fingers are not equal - that's a myth. If you want to be a finger, be the longest. Stand out! You are not too old to achieve that dream and neither are you too young to start that business. Nothing is impossible if only you can believe. In the days of adversity, stand and fight. Take courage and win. Have the risk appetite. You are mighty and powerful. Believe in God and in yourself. You are the exact image of God here on earth. You are more powerful than you can imagine. You are born with the creative ability like God. You are capable of doing good and you have the power to forgive all wrongs. Take steps now. Never stop your motion.
