What would you do if you weren’t afraid...?
At every point of our lives we must have been afraid of one thing or the other. But you either Live your dreams or live your fears.
Most people are not doing all they want to do or pursuing their dreams, their goals and aspirations just because of one thing: FEAR
For some it's the fear of attending that interview
for some, it's fear of rejection
For some it's the fear of a loud sound
For some it's the fear of falling
For some it's the fear of darkness
For some it's speaking in front of a large audience
for some, it's the fear to say NO without feeling guilty
To some it's the Fear of change
And to many the fear of Failure!
Of all the types of fear known to mankind it’s only two of them that we are born with: Fear of Falling and fear of loud sound. The rest we learn.
I will love to fly a jet; I will love to swim but I am sooooo fearful! What are the things you will like to do but because of fear
Take a moment to think about those things?
Remember life is about growth: you can either go back to your comfort zone where you won't find any growth or be willing to go forward and face your fears.
It's time you make a change. However, change is a choice! You make your choice and your choice makes you. You either change or remain in chain!
That which you want to do do it whatever the circumstance. Don't hold back because impression without an expression leads to depression!
Whatever your fear or phobia you can overcome your fears! Because it is unfounded.
Zig Ziglar has described FEAR with an acronym - False Evidence Appearing Real. Yes!
It is false and it only appears real but NOT real.
We are even afraid sometimes to be yourself because we don't want to hurt other people's feeling hence placing a limit on our potentials, our dreams and aspirations.
So, the question to you now is - What will you do if you're not afraid:
List all the things that you had always wanted to achieve.
And since we know that most of our fears are unfounded and NOT real, we can now begin to:
Break up with your doubts
get engaged to your faith
Start telling yourself you can do it!
Because if God be for us who can be against us
I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me
Your word is a lamp unto my feet and light to my path
Even though I walked through the valley of shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Even if you have tried and have failed, Don't be afraid.
Don’t be afraid to start over again because this time you are not starting from scratch but you’re starting with experience!
The righteous man may fall seven times, He will surely rise again.
Even if you fall on the canvas of life, don't be afraid. If you can look up, you can get up!
You can rise again. YES, you Can! Take the risk.
Because If you’re not willing to risk, you cannot grow. If you cannot grow, you cannot be your best. If you cannot be your best, you cannot be happy. If you cannot be happy, what else is there?
Stir up your faith! Do not be anxious about anything.
Worry looks around but faith looks up!
Get up! Dress up and Show up! Confront your fears and Live your dream!!!
