| Head Stuff Can Be Daunting! from deviantart.com |
I believe the majority of people are their own worst enemy. What you say to yourself in your head daily is probably far worse than anything anybody has ever openly said to you.
The Dis-Ease of Constant Incessant Worry
Our worry over the future (future fear), lack of confidence (faith), and self doubt keep us stuck in a living limbo pattern. We are the plane running out of fuel, just hovering in place around and around. When our predominate thinking reinforces these patterns, we suffer from a lack of belief in ourselves. We hold ourselves out to be completely incapable. Incapable of change, incapable of improvement, and incapable of success.
These negative feelings of worthlessness all have the same essence at their CORE.
The One Main Obstacle
The one main obstacle, this single universal block, is the FEAR of FAILURE. The opponent inside is far more formidable than anyone outside of us. When we seek to remove or reduce or to quiet this inner critic, then flow (and change) comes easy and natural. We become magnetized to success in direct proportion to this reduction of fear. Remembering that ABUNDANCE is our birthright.
Filled on the Inside
We are not empty vessels. In fact, we are much like acorns. We have the seeds of greatness instilled within us at birth. They merely await our nurturing. Nature is abundant all around us but requires care to meet it's natural potential.
Three Prerequisites to Growth
There are only three prerequisites to our germination and growth. They are self love, self care, and self appreciation. In fact any relationship will grow by these factors. You must give them to yourself first before you can fully bestow them on anyone else. Like the oxygen mask on the plane, help yourself before you can help anyone else.
What is FEAR?
Fear is self punishment, and that it why it holds us back. The battle with fear can end or continue moment by moment. Understanding the voice of fear in all it's forms, yes fear has many disguises. It is not always obvious and in your face. It is subtle and quiet. It emerges through our feelings of self-doubt and indecision.
When you feel lesser than, that is fear. When you feel greater than, that is fear as well. Anytime we minimize or maximize ourselves or basically judge ourselves and our actions in relationship to other people that is a form of fear. We decide in that moment not to express our true nature. Who we really are, not pretending to be or trying to be something or someone we are not because we feel we are not good enough, smart enough, tall enough, pretty enough, or whatever. We feel we are just not enough for ourselves or for the world.
On some level this is a slow suicide of sorts. These thoughts of self judgment slowly and deliberately quash our hopes and dreams of ever obtaining or achieving what we want or who we wish to become.
Not for others but for ourselves is the true growth we seek. Growth and transformation that is meaningful to us.
Standing Up to Fear
Courage is not the elimination of fear but the courage (the fortitude) to face it head on. To first realize we have met the enemy and it is facing us in the mirror. The true key is taking action. Taking calculated action steps, day by day, even if they be just baby steps that move us further along to meet our unique set of values and goals quiet fear. Fear dissolves in the face of self progress following self reflection. It stands aside, it is frozen by this march, this building, this acquisition of the new future. Building foundation upon action leads to self respect. The respect of self is caring, loving, and appreciating yourself all combined into one.
