Let go of fear...

Many of you are thinking...easier said than done! Not true.

If you gathered up all the fearful thoughts that exist in the mind of the average person, looked at them objectively, and tried to decide just how much good they provided that person, you see that not some but all fearful thoughts are useless!

Have you ever stopped to think of all the fearful thoughts that go through your mind in a day? Most of our thoughts are hidden until we start to focus on what we are actually thinking. The problem we have with fearful thoughts that are hidden, is that they hold us back. They interfere with dreams, hopes, desires, and progress. All our fearful thoughts are usually rationalization for why something shouldn't or can't work. They are justifications for quitting. Here our a few thoughts I've heard or said myself...Hey,I can't lose weight, I tried that 100x before, nothing works. "I can't get the team to do that, I've tried to motivate this team, they are useless." "I've tried that before it didn't work." "Most people fail,so I want to be absolutely certain before I try so I don't fail"

Our own fear makes things we want seem unrealistic, simplistic, and/or foolish. The problem we face when we face our fear...is that on the surface, our fearful thoughts seem rational. Let me assure you that I'm not suggesting you ignore the facts and take unnecessary and/or foolish risks. Nor am I suggesting that you should attempt things you are totally unqualified for...like going into an operating room to do surgery, with a high school education. Or perhaps you are 45 yo, overweight, and want to be a fireman. Yes, you are right...these things can't happen.

Here's a secret that can change your life.Make a commitment that, for the next month, you will practice dropping and/or ignoring any negative and fearful thought that enters your mind. AS fears come to your mind, gently but firmly let them go.

AS they return (which most times they will), let them go again. It's easier than you think. It takes courage and practice. Do this for 30 days. If you get a negative and fearful thought, that you dwell on for 5 mins or longer, you must start back at day 1. In 30 days that you keep all positive thoughts and action, you will find your life is much easier and more fun without the interference of fear.
