Eliminate Your Fears By Putting Them Into Perspective
Why do we fear that which will make us grow? Think about that statement for a minute. Why do we fear that which will make us grow?
Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? Unfortunately it is not. It seems all those things in the world that will assist in our growth we completely overlook. We then substitute it with something haphazard.

Why People Can’t Overcome Their Fear of Failure
You probably agree that the #1 reason why people can’t pursue their passions is MONEY. It takes time to find a way through which your passion can replace the secured paycheck.
However, there is another equally important reason.
On the surface, you can call it the fear of failure!

Love Or Fear? Which One Are You Allowing to Drive Your Life
‘There are two driving forces in your life: love and fear.
Love is your higher self.
It is the place of pure intention and hope.
When your higher self drives your life you are on purpose and empowered. Life surges through you; you thrive and society thrives because of it.
Fear, of course, is its opposite and is your lower self.

These fears cause people to avoid risk of any kind and to reject opportunity when it is presented to them. They are so afraid of failure that they are almost paralyzed when it comes to taking any chances at all. Read the Rest of This Article »
You are Unique: Live it Well
Other people want you to change your opinion to suit them but they won’t change to suit you. They just go on living their lives. How does that work? – Quote by My wife, 2010
John Donne said “the death of any man diminishes me” but I think a worse fate than being dead is dying inside – being diminished – while you live.
That is what happens when you poison your growth through letting others diminish, marginalize and demoralize you from reaching your potential. Let me tell you, living in fear of other peoples’ opinions sucks. I know. I’ve done it. Read the Rest of This Article »

Why Nothing Is Scarier Than Change
This post is inspired by another blog post – by Catherine Caine at Cash and Joy.
In that post, an (imaginary) therapist and client are having a conversation, which goes in part like this:
‘And what’s the worst thing that could happen if you don’t follow that dream?’
‘Nothing.’

Day 74:How to Embrace Your Fear (Even if It’s Weighing You Down)
What are you afraid of?
What keeps you rooted to your comfort zone?
What keeps you from taking chances?
What keeps you from living the life you want?
