What is fear exactly?
I have a good friend that always reminds me:
F - False
E - Evidence
A - Appearing
R - Real
Now I don't remember exactly where she got this acryonm, but I refer to it regularly and try to pass it on.
There are alot of reasons why we hold onto things, people and situations that we already know are unhealthly or unwise to engage in. Many of those reasons can be tied back to F.E.A.R.
Fear of losing someone,
fear of being alone,
fear of insecurity,
fear of creating problems,
fear of success,
fear of other peoples opinions,
fear of insufficiency or unreadiness
fear of the unknown
fear of change and so on....
"Your beliefs meet you in the face when you look in the mirror. They form your image. You cannot escape your beliefs. They are, however, the method by which you create your experience." - Exerpt from The Seth Materials, Audio Vol. 1 Tape 1.
Therefore, if you believe you are afraid, you will be afraid. Consequently, if you believe you are brave you will begin to live out those attributes and gain confidence in yourself to make challenging, and sometimes, life-changing decisions.
One big inducer of fear that I have experienced is change.
I have personally felt these effects before. I have friends that get very anxious when they know something new and different is on the horizon, and not just something unexpected, but but where the outcome is unpredictable. As a result of this uncertainy they can become timid and immobile, to the point that they miss some really awesome opportunities as a result.
Fear can have a lot of power of you....if you let it.
Today I challenge you to remove that fear. Remember, it is simply False Evidence Appearing Real. The reality that we live is the one that we create now.
"The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it will be."
ACT.
