Fear!
I have resolved that I will no longer live in fear. To live
fearlessly is my goal.
Fear can be crippling. If you allow it fear will hold you
hostage physically, emotionally and mentally. Fear is the number one barrier to
living confidently. It's hold on us stunts our growth and holds us back from
success, fulfillment and happiness
We don't always like to admit it but we experience fear every
day. We don't do something we want to do because of fear or we do something we
don't want to do because of fear.
The reality is that most fear is unfounded. Fears arise from
events or situations that haven't happened or may never happen. They originate
from false beliefs and thinking. Ultimately it reinforces mediocrity.
Tips to live fearlessly:
1. Be
HONEST with yourself
The first step in living fearlessly is owning up to and
accepting your fear. Often, we don’t even realize how much of our time is spent
worrying about something. When you become aware of what the fear is remind
yourself that 80% of fears NEVER HAPPEN. By owning your fear, you then have the
power to change it.
2. Be
PRESENT.
Fearfulness usually revolves around living in the future. You
are afraid of what will or COULD happen and often dwell on that. It is impossible to change or even predict what will
happen in the future. However much we plan and hope for, the reality is that we
never really know what will happen next. God has a plan for the future. Rest in that and know that it is up to you to live today to the fullest. Live in the present.
3. Be
BOLD
Find those areas in your life where you feel fear. For me,
it's a fear of rejection. I'm not entirely sure
what 'rejection' I'm afraid of. I think it's about wanting the acceptance and
love of others and making sure that I don't do anything to jeopardize that.
What have I done to punch that fear square in the nose? Your reading it, I’m
writing this blog. This fear will no longer hold me hostage.
What is it for you? Look those fears in the eye, and accept a
little discomfort so you can reap the great rewards of stepping out of your
comfort zone.
Determine that starting today you will no longer be controlled by fear and you will start living the purpose filled life you were created to live.
