Turning Fear to Action
For me the most crucial things I have accomplished in life have come from overcoming my fears and turning that into an action that turned my life around. One of those times in my life was when I decided to take the ACT test to determine if I was college material, ended up doing well on the test and got accepted into all three colleges where I applied. Up to that point I had not thought myself smart enough to go to college and because of one person in my life who asked me about it and shared her belief that I could I decided to start the process by meeting with the school counselor. Not only did I complete a BA but also finished two masters degrees. The fear I had at the start turned into action and I had accomplished what I thought I could not do.
I believe that anyone can turn fear into action. I believe that each and every person can either be paralyzed from fear or they can use it to propel them. When we accept that we are in fear and we decide to use it to motivate us we take that feeling to the next level where we get through the fear and rise above it. To a large degree fear is natural and is a feeling most of us experience. As we take this journey called life we will face and overcome fears over and over again, time and time again. The very first step to getting over the fear is to acknowledge it and as I put it label it as an "illusion" because that is exactly what it is. At the very least fear is usually unfounded and when we know this we can overcome it easily since it is an untruth.
I tell myself such things as: "I feel fear but it is not a reality" or "I sense fear but I know that it is based on dark sources who do not have any power over me". When you are feeling fear just understand that it is usually not founded, untrue and an illusion. Tell yourself things like: "this fear I feel is unfounded, not my truth and just an illusion". It is a way to program ourselves into moving from the fear to a place of action, especially when there is something we want to accomplish whether it is sharing a feeling or getting an interview for a job. Fear is a culprit of many a failure and a poisoning of our minds and spirits. We must not entertain it for long periods of time. Fear as many of us knw firsthand will keep us from our peace, our serenity and our ability to simply sleep and face the next day with courage and love.
The next time that you are in fear know for sure that the cause of it is you. Understand tht as quickly as you choose fear you can choose understanding, courage and faith. Moment to moment we make choices and when we make the choices that heal us and show compassion for others we will diminish the fear automatcially. It takes practicing the things that bring the light forward and leaves the darkness behind us. Once we get the real essence of life as it should be lived we live it without fear and entirely. Become fearless and you will soon uncover the warrior you truly are.
