Overcoming Our Fear

The other day I was talking about Joe a former associate of mine who is handicapped by the Fear of Poverty. He clearly has all the symptoms. I asked all of you to do some reflective thought and see how many of the symptoms listed fit your life. I'm sure a few of you found these traits in themselves or those around you.

The truth is there is a little bit of Joe in all of us. The important question is how do we overcome this paralyzing fear so we can become happy and wealthy? The Fear of Poverty is so devastating that there have been tons of books, courses and seminars created about it. Here are some of the basics to get started.

There are three important components to conquering fear. One is DESIRE the others are KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. If you DESIRE something you can use that emotion to develop KNOWLEDGE and gain UNDERSTANDING of fear itself. KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING gives you the power see the fear for what it really is and lessen its status and importance. When you combine your KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING with FAITH you then have COURAGE which can completely overcome fear.

Behavioral experts recognize that personal change has to start with the DESIRE to change. If you are like Joe and always blame someone else, it's hard to ask yourself the tough questions. But when you think about it, we probably all have overcome some significant fears to get as far as we have in life. It's often useful to look at how we overcame similar problems in our past. Use that experience as a tool and see if it can apply to our current situation.

Try this. Think of a time you conquered a childhood fear and see if the process stemmed from a desire. Then ask yourself how you developed the courage to overcome the fear. It's not surprising that many of the great fears in primitive societies have their source in ignorance and lack of knowledge. How did you gain the knowledge to overcome your childhood fear? The process for overcoming today's fear is much the same.

Ask yourself questions about your fear. Learn as much about it as you can. Remember that FEAR can correctly be defined as False Evidence Appearing Real.

I leave you with an important thought. Our lives are journeys. We have the choice to take whatever path we DESIRE as long as we have the COURAGE to follow it to the end. FAITH in our decision comes from sound KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING.
