How to Conquer Your Fears and Manifest Your Dreams
Are you allowing your fears to prevent you from manifesting your dreams of prosperity and a better life? Fear is an interesting animal. Conquering your fears is something most of us have so much difficulty with (at least in certain aspects of our lives) that it's spawned its own industry of gurus teaching you not to be afraid and not to give in to your fears.
At the same time, you have advertisers promoting to you non-stop attempting to sell you products designed to protect you from the unfortunate outcomes or accidents that may befall you. This of course feeds the fear even more, meaning there's more demand for the anti-fear gurus. Yet, there is a funny thing about fear most of us overlook.
Fear Is Not Real
For the most part, fear is all in your head. Ninety nine percent of the things you fear never end up happening.
Fear is generally focused on a future outcome you anticipate or imagine. The outcome is something you do not want and you're predisposed to believing it's the only possible outcome as you move forward.
Perhaps the most insidious aspect of fear is that it often leads you to freeze ... to do nothing because there's the possibility it will all turn out bad. In other words, we find ourselves playing not to get hurt rather than playing to win. How can that lead to a fulfilling life of inspired abundance?
Fear Takes On Many Shapes
There are all kinds of fears. The fear of speaking in public is a big one -- but its just a conversation. In martial arts, you learn to break boards with your hands and feet. Yet so many beginners are afraid they will break their hand. Some time ago, I walked barefoot on fire and hot coals that were over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. My mind told me I would get burned (or worse) -- and in fact I had to sign a release acknowledging I could die. I didn't get burned at all. Financial fear is another big one. We've been so conditioned that few of us will ever break free of our financial fears. We worry about being able to provide for our families, send the kids to college, or retire with enough money to live. We're inundated with offers of insurance and commercials focusing on the minefield of risks before us. We are so concerned about losing money that we end up not participating in opportunities when they come along. We presuppose the outcome and so don't even try.
Why Not Presuppose Your Dreams Instead?
At what point was it when you began to choose to put more faith in your fears than in your dreams?
Dreams are simply the opposite side of the coin from fear. They also represent an anticipated or imagined outcome.
Why is the dream less likely to occur than the outcome we fear? The truth is that it isn't less likely. By putting more focus and attention on pursuing your dreams, you may well end up conquering your fears.
However, you do tend to get what you focus on and what you believe. So perhaps its time to invest a little more energy in focusing upon and believing in what is possible -- that dreams do come true if you persist with faith and belief in yourself.
