"Fear is The Biggest Obstacle in Life"


For these reasons, I always say that fear is the biggest obstacle in your life - not your financial situation, your upbringing, your daily nine-to-five grind................And your fears are generally unfolded........


Think about what l have just stated when you take the time to analyze what you have done in the past to help your success and what have you done to hinder it.  You will recognize changes you could have made and steps you could have taken to make your life more remarkable.


But l have something to share with you and l am firm on this demand: You need to stop dwelling in the past.  Otherwise you will never make full use of your great potential that we all have within our self.............


You need to focus your mind and actions on the future, in order to move forward you need to look at your past, "BUT" At be lament about past failures or any aspect of your past.  So have a good look at your life in a very objective way and determine what you can do right away to start making positive changes.....


My mind is working over time, l was thinking about this all day today and then l decided to write about it.  I had few members at work and l was listening to them when l came up with this after hearing all they had to say......


I told them that the pass is something that you will never change but the only thing you could do from the past is learn from it.......I used some of my failures and told them what l was going through they just looked at me................See it works and l walked away................


I enjoy this article and have reviewed it many times, it honestly makes a lot of sense to me, when you really think about it.   What is really stopping us from success..


I think we all know that answer...............all you need to do is look at a mirror and you will see the answer.....

Hi,

Good topic, and so very true. Here's a quote which just about covers it :

“There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”
.............Franklin D. Roosevelt

True courage is having fear, and overcoming it to continue anyway.

Thank you Wendy Garnet,

Positive is part of my meals, whether l deceide to be negative or positive the cost is the same, just the results are different. Like l have said before in many of my blogs l use the power of affirmation not sure how it works or why it works alll know it works forme and for those who decide believe and use it.

The affirmation l use is exactly word for word like this.

I honestly believe something good is going to happen to me today. i said at least 20 to l have

In response to Garnet here

I hope I am not going over the line here, but you must be one strong-willed and positive person to have beat the dreaded disease, I'm sure you are an inspiration to all around you. Joseph, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, we know you guys can beat it.

You can never go over the line Not at t'all sure if I would call me "srong-willed" more like stubborn. I had to much to live for and refused to give up or in.

To All Readers.

I came across this "QUOTE TODAY" on fear.............l wanted to share it with all of us.

If you spend five minutes complaining, you have just wasted five minutes. If you continue complaining, it wont be long before they haul you to a financial desert and there let you ckoke on the dust of your own regreat.

Think about this for a minute.............makes a good amount of sense to most who understand the logical behind this quote not all but most......

When I think of overcoming fear I think of Peter when he stepped out of the ship onto the waves and how he must have felt, knowing that the Lord was there, he had faith that he too could walk on the water, but as soon as he took his eyes off Him he started to sink.

To draw a parallel to this, I like to compare our lives and the fears we have inside to the waves of the sea, and Christ is the goals we work toward. Don't take your eyes off your goals. Keep them in mind no matter what and do what

Hi Garnet,

Thank you for the very kind words, yes l do understand the fear in it but in the end all it takes is the power of the unknown, it really works, without borders, you need to have a strong faith and ride the unknown.

Life is what it is, you can control some of it, perhaps most of it but when it comes to health issues then it's field that really is out my and many others league. It is in the hands of others, I getting use to it in the last few years, my dad then my mom, now my wi

Hi Joseph,

I believe you are getting at fueling your life with positive energy and not negative energy. I guess there is a point where we can be fearful of something we have never tried, but to give it a good and learn from the experience has to be a positive.

I do believe there are healthy fears, (eg. don't stay under water too long you will drown), then perhaps the unrealistic fears, (no I cannot learn BBC code).

I hope I am on your wavelength(& I hope that is not a NZ saying, lol)

Thanky

Now I am not going to be argumentative but.....

"Also, I live in the wilderness! We already have bears along with all kinds of other wildlife....Animals attack out of fear, so to say they are fearless is just not quite the right words."

Yes the bears up are fearful if and only they are in the bush where they are suppose to be.
I live in the middle of a small town (pop approx 2,000) I swear these bears are not afraid They have been seen downtown in the middle of day and walking the st

Garnet,

That is powefull, very powerfull human emtotions can and will create fear as your case you have a very interesting concept, after reading your comments l got up and started thinking about what you had said and it reminded me of myself. How we all hadnle fear in different ways, how it can control ones emotions, life and HEALTH, fear can create a lot of stress, it will make you very negative in life your attutide will be noticed but all around you.

Wendy and Joseph,

I'm starting to feel it, must....continue.....typing.

Still human! Fear is a powerful emotion, bluntly, it plagued me for many years socially, still deal with it to a certain extent I'm sure. Overcoming fear is an even more powerful experience, one that is impossible to experience without have felt fear first. These days, whenever the social fear creeps in, I just remember that quote, and then do what I gotta do.

Also, I live in the wilderness! We already have bear

You have a good point there Wendy animals, when they encounter fear they most of the time will attack, just how they are very protective of the territory they have.


and at times they will attack humans if they have too..........Fear can be created in many ways and also hidden in many ways........
