Was watching
Joyce Myers, this morning, whom I enjoy watching ! Her message was on “living
in fear”, which seemed like a good topic for my blog today.
Google
definition:
·
* An
unpleasant emotion
·
* “Caused
by the belief”
·
* That
someone or something
·
* Is
dangerous
·
* Likely
to cause pain or a threat
The
definition does not say the “cause” is real.
It says, it’s a belief. And, the definition never states, that the
belief comes true.
So in
essence, fear is,
· *
The
choosing
·
* Prior
to
·
* Something
actually proving that it is ever going to happen
Right ?
Yet, we tend
to do it anyway !
In reality,
we
· *
Bring
“negative” into the picture, before that situation is due such justice !
·
* Contemplate
and focus on the negative before it happens !
·
* Give
negative POWER !
·
* Allow
stress to come forward !
·
* Can
bring about our own negative doom/destiny
And how many
times, did you worry, and the negative situation never came about ? You worried
and messed up on mental and physical outlook for no reason ?
And of
course, we all know, there are those times, that what we fear does come
true. But if our destiny is planned, we
couldn’t stop it with the worry anyway !
The point is,
stress and worry give us no value in life.
It doesn’t stop the situation from happening. And it can ultimately bring sickness to
ourselves, and our stresses can most often affect others !
You need to
begin by changing your outlook. Instead
of worrying that you may not get that promotion, begin with saying something
positive, such as, “I know I have given my best, towards getting that promotion”. Like Joyce said today, say this 50 times
today; and do this over the next 10-12 day.
And if the
fear is in reference of not getting something you wanted, like the promotion,
next add to your words, “I will be ok, if I do not get this promotion”. My mother’s philosophy (and yes, I do tell
myself this), if you do not get what you want, it does not necessarily mean
something is wrong with you; maybe it’s the other person who is not yet ready !
But back to
general fears:
I will not
be afraid to fly; matter of fact, I’m going love it.
I will not
be afraid to meet new people; matter of fact, these new folks will inspire my
life or me to them.
I will not
be afraid to date; matter of fact, a date does not mean marriage.
I will not
be afraid to go look for a new job; matter of fact, I have a lot to offer, and
that company specifically needs me.
I will not
be afraid to live alone; matter of fact, I will do well with my finances, and I
will enjoy some quiet time.
No matter
the fear, take your fear, and write it out, like above, and finish the sentence. And again, do as Joyce says, and repeat it 50
times during your day.
It’s time,
TODAY, to change your life around. Do
yourself, “and others”, a favor, before you drive you and EVERYONE ELSE in sane
! And that’s, by choosing to work,
actively, with your personal habit of “fear promoting” !
