MOVE BEYOND FEAR

“Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.”

Marilyn Ferguson

 

With any great change in life there's bound to be a moment of fear. A brief second in our lives where we hold our breath, truly alert and alive, as we try to muster up the courage to step forward into the unknown.

Fulton Oursler, author of The Greatest Story Ever Told said that, “Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.”

Fear has no special power over us. Nothing does unless we give our power over to it. And what is the past but a memory, a faint whisper upon the wind.

If you want to change your life you must push past your fears. And an easy way to do that is to get clear on where you want to be. It's easier to step forward bravely if their is a goal that we can work toward. And sleeping within all our hearts is a secret world that we all want to awaken. So cling fiercely to this vision for it will help to see you through.

Feel your fear but do what needs to be done.

F.E.A.R.

I can't remember where I heard it from but I do know that it was years and years ago. I think a wise friend of mine must have told me what fear means.

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real

You may have already noticed this: Every time you feel fear it's not because the situation you're about to encounter is one that can strike terror into your heart.

It's not like while you're walking home one night you're going to encounter a Bengali tiger that hasn't eaten for weeks. And he sees you, licks his lips, and you notice a determined certainty in his eyes, that he knows with every fiber of his kitty cat being that you're about to be his main course.

This is not going to happen in the modern world. In beautiful India maybe. But not in the urban environment we find ourselves in today.

But what does happen is that some external event triggers a cascade of memories to flood our mind. We create within our own imagination a world colored and filled with fear. If you begin to realize these thoughts as they arise then you can control them.

Napoleon Hill, the grandfather of the self-help movement and author of the international bestselling book, Think and Grow Rich, said that once a memory is triggered all the associated memories come to the surface, “As if lifting a chain.”

Link by link, memory by memory, flash before our minds eye. These memories can be of the past, or fears that we've created about the future. But the truth in either case is that the past no longer is. The future is yet to come. All that we have then is this very moment.

Bring yourself back to this moment and see it clearly. It's here waiting for you to love it. To enjoy it. To embrace it. And when you do, you touch the very essence of eternity. The soft fabric of existence...
