Turn Fear from the Master to the Slave



Have you ever been hit with that feeling? GULP!! "Oh My God, I simply cannot do this!" Or "This doesn't feel right, its not familiar, it must be wrong!"

Fear is a pretty complex emotion, because it isn't really its 'OWN' emotion. IT is a mix of all sorts of things, and sometimes we just can't figure out what the real issue is! If you find you are in fear mode a lot, it is time to take some stock and ask yourself why?


Fear happens when you are on the edge of something wonderful.


I guess fear is warranted if you are indeed on the edge of a cliff and about to fall off, BUT in our day to day lives that rarely happens. If you are feeling fear in your life when nothing truly life threatening is happening, you might want to consider that maybe some thing good is happening.


Why would we feel fear if something good is happening? Well..


It is because we are far more used to letting in negativity than we are positive into our lives.


Our world is bombarded by fear based images in the media, threats, guilt trips - worry worry worry.

We are very used to negativity, so used to it in fact that when something positive comes around, we fear it. "Is it real?" - "Can I trust this?"


When fear happens, surrender, let it go and walk right into it. You have no IDEA what might be waiting for you.


If your life isn't in danger, and the most extreme thing that happened to you today is you spilled your latte in the car on the way to work - well - fear may just be what you feel because you are on the edge of something wonderful.

So re-name it EXCITEMENT - feel the butterflies and start making it work for you!



"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us."
