Facing your fears

Welcome Back!

Fear can be a hindrance in your success. If allowed to take control of your life, it will be a permanent detour on your journey of success, stopping us from making any progress.

Fear breeds Inaction…Inaction leads to inexperience…Inexperience leads to inability…and Inability destroys your path to success.

People try to deal with fear in different ways. Some people try to avoid it altogether. But this is neither practical nor productive.

The most effective way is to deal with your fear. Stay strong and overcome. This is the only method that works.

Most of the fears that we face every day are not based on facts. They are generated by our feelings

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Do the thing that you are afraid to, and the death of fear is certain". This is the key to overcome your fears. 

Also, try this technique for overcoming fear, it can work wonders for you: If you are afraid of swimming, begin now to sit still for 5 or 10 minutes three or four times a day, and imagine you are swimming. Actually, you are swimming in your mind. Mentally you have projected yourself into the water. You feel the chill of the water and the movement of your arms and legs. Now, you will feel less scared when you try to dive into the pool.

This is not idle daydreaming, for you know that what you are experiencing in your imagination will be developed in your subconscious mind. You will be then compelled to express the image and likeliness of the picture you impressed on your deeper minds. 

You can apply this same technique almost everywhere. You will be able to face your fears physically with comfort.

Thought of the day:

"Always remember, that the things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in your mind!"

'Today' is his 🎁 unto you

Welcome back 😀 ! Have you ever wondered why people like handmade gifts above all other gifts? The answer to this question is simple - You/They recognise the heart behind the gift and that makes the gift priceless . "A gift is not a material, but an outlook - to look out at the heart behind the material." -Mahatria Rā Even if the present is just a handmade flower or a greeting card, it would be one of the best gifts you would have ever got. Similarly , Education becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of the teachers who transfer their knowledge unto you . Your childhood becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of your parents in the upbringing. Friends become a gift when they stand by you not only in your good times but also in your tough times. Life becomes a gift when you realise its preciousness and its importance. In that sense, "Today" becomes an eternal gift . Always keep in mind that you may not live to see the "Tomorrow"...

Ego never accepts the truth

Welcome Back! Everyone goes through this phase of life where the ego drives one to do anything and everything only to get noticed and recognised . It is a phase when good is good only when it gains attention; even bad is good if it can draw attention . Also, good is bad when it fails to gain attention. Ego survives on gaining attention. However, one must outgrow that phase of life. Ego needs feeding ; and hence it is regarded as a beggar . The problem with ego is that when ego is fed , you struggle with the superiority complex , and when ego is starved, you suffer with the inferiority complex . It destroys your peace of mind. People have lost many precious relationships while trying to satisfy their ego. They should have sacrificed their ego, but they didn’t. Remember, Ego is never worth the losses. People have also lost many golden opportunities while they were servicing their ego. They should have done the other way, but they could not. Ego destroys your freedom of choice. There i...
