Fear: The Crippler

Cripple means deprivation, disability, inability and inefficiency to name just a few.

When fear is allowed to run your errands it will leave you feeling powerless and crippled. Fear is a joy stealer and a life destroyer to a greater extent. It has caused many people to not pursue their heart’s desires and is responsible for letting people go down to the grave without having to make a difference in the world.

Fear will cause you to stop taking action. It cripples you and renders you powerless. When you are supposed to be taking action, fear will cause you to feel tired, to want to sleep and to hide from the world.

FEAR has been known as:

FEAR: False Emotions Appearing Real
FEAR: False Expectations About Reality
FEAR: Finding Excuses And Reasons
FEAR: Failure Expected And Received

We can go on and on but I’m sure you get the point. Fear is all about showing you unfavorable outcomes that are based on false evidence. Fear is your greatest hindrance to success, it is the obstacle in your path to a victorious future. Every fear is like a closed door that prevents you from growing and developing. If you conquer fear, you will definitely enter the “Promised Land”

Fear goes hand in hand with feelings of insecurity and low self esteem. If you look down on yourself, you become afraid of making bigger shifts in your life as you perceive yourself as unworthy. “When you feel insecure, you lack the boldness to try something new. You tend to stick to old habits and familiar ways, even if you don’t like them. When you fear the new and the unknown your life becomes stale, boring and unfulfilled. You live a habitual life without growth” – Valerie Satterwhite

It seems as if fear is there to help you out and protecting you from embarrassments. It seems as if fear is working on your side, but that is just “One Fat Lie”. Fear works against you not for you and it is your enemy. Fear doesn’t care about you and it rejoices in seeing you leaving under its spell, sucking your energy and creativity.

What I want you to do is to stop listening to this dangerous emotion or can I say your inner critic. You are bigger than fear and you are capable of succeeding in this life. When you feel the emotions of fear, listen to them calmly. You will realize it is lying to you. Just tell it to “Get behind me Satan” and it will run away from you for a while. Then move on, get going and pursue your goals. Let nothing step in your way. Many people have lost jobs, careers, love, etc because of this inner critic. It crippled them and they weren’t able to take the necessary action to succeed.

I hope you won’t be a victim of fear from today onwards. You are bigger and smarter than fear.
