OVERPOWER YOU OWN FEAR



Don’t allow anxiety to be a barrier that keeps you from achieving your full potential.
Tagline of ‘After Earth’ movie: “Danger is Real, Fear is a Choice”

We all have the power to make our own choices in life.  But do the choices include the power over our emotions?  Fear is an almighty, overwhelming emotion.  Love and anger are the other two strong emotions that either creep in or overwhelm us at the most inopportune moment.  Anger has been the most difficult to acknowledge when it comes around.  Love is at most times, a positive feeling that most people embrace without second thought.  Fear on the other hand is a feeling or thought that is almost always present.

Marketing guru, Seth Gordin said that fearless is not the same as the absence of fear.  The fearless person is well aware of the fear they face.  The fear becomes a compass for them to know what to do next.  The fearless person sees the world as it is and makes smart decisions.  Different people have a different definition of fear.  It is most important to acknowledge what truly scares us.

Quotation from Yuri, Xandra Ooi’s husband:
If you are angry, you are living in the past
If you are anxious, you are living in the future
The past does not exists other than in your head
So being angry is bringing the mind back to the past
The future obviously doesn’t exist yet
Worry or fear is a thing of the future
One of the best thing in life is to practice being in the present

Luck plays a big role is any form of success.  But luck only arrives when we are brave enough to place ourselves in a position to accept it.  Whether or not we let anxiety and fear govern our decisions is indeed a choice.  Don’t let fear take your power away.
