DO IT AFRAID.....Getting it done, In spite of your FEARS.

A story was told about a boy who was victimized by his neighbor's dog. Every day when the boy left his home the dog chased him. He would run for his life. One day,he got tired of running, he decided he had run enough.

When the bulldog came after him,he picked up a rock and cocked his arm to throw it. The bulldog kept his distance but began barking. The boy saw something that shocked him. The bulldog had NO TEETH. The only thing the dog could have done to him was to gum him to death.

Quite a lot of us are constantly trapped in this,we are scared of almost everything.

Fear has been defined eloquently by many but the fact still remains that it's a False Evidence that project itself as being Real. It's a state of mind,it has no power but it is in itself very powerful(I.e its effect if not controlled/mastered)

Different types of fear exist and they present themselves subtly in a manner that makes them almost unrecognizable.

We have Fear of failure, fear of poverty, fear of criticism, fear of death and the list is endless. But for the sake of emphasis, I will like to dwell on the FEAR OF FAILURE.

A vast majority of us have nursed a lot of dreams, ideas,divinely endowed wisdom,but the fear of failure has crippled our enthusiasm, drained our creativity and incapacitated us to the extent that we embrace mediocrity as our destiny.

Fear of failure can kill off self reliance, encourage procrastination, destroy ambition,paralyze ones faculty of reason,turn willpower into nothingness and lead to sleeplessness, misery and unhappiness. Stated by Napoleon Hill.

We make our fears more powerful than our dreams,Little wonder we complain about Stagnancy.

Take this,God promised the Israelites that He was going to give them the promise land, but after the spies went to the land,they preferred to stay in captivity than take what was theirs. FEAR PERSONIFIED.

Great feats aren't achieved without fears or doubt. It's okay/natural to be scared when you want to launch out with an idea or anything worthwhile. But you must learn to act in spite of that if you ever dream of making impact... DO IT AFRAID.

Just like any other emotions such as Love and Hatred,Fear is an emotion it can be mastered, it can be controlled. And we will be dealing single-handedly on Identifying and mastering our FEARS in the next few weeks.

Like the little boy in the story,we must get to that point in our lives where we get tired of running (LIVING OUR FEARS). And I think that time must be NOW.

I've heard quite a number of persons that give excuses instead to accepting/facing their fears,they say "The time is not just right, I will kick off in the next 6 months" But within themselves, they know they are scared. So I dare to say at this point that,the first way to master and also face our fears is to identify and also accept them.

Let's hang out next week(Possibly subsequently week) as we discuss extensively on how to identify our fears by stating different forms they can projects themselves and also be enlightened on go to master our fears.

Dearest, if that Dream is one that you can't imagine your life without, You've got to be real with yourself..FACE YOUR FEAR AND LAUNCH OUT.

Remember, that step don't have to be lofty or recognized.. IT JUST HAVE TO BE A BOLD ONE.

Accept you are afraid and MOVE ON.

See you next week.

Don't forget to Live Intentional!!
