May 2010 Newsletter: Fear or Freedom

There are seven areas of life we are here to master; spiritual, mental, vocational, financial, familial, social and physical. They can either be powerfully supportive of your genius, or impeding it. There are also seven common fears and guilt that fragment our full potential in each of these areas and the only difference between somebody who does what they love and someone who doesn’t is the former has the ability to identify their fears and has a strategy to break through them. You can break through or break down in all seven areas of life.

If you break down you’re listening to your fearful self, if you break through you’ve listened to your immortal self. But don’t think that you’re ever going to be without fears in your life, fear means you’re growing and challenging yourself beyond your comfort zones.

I have fears almost every day, but I know that fear is an incomplete view of what is occurring, so I identify the fear, bring it to completion and balance, and then walk through it and I suggest you do the same.

'Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.'

Thomas Edison

The 7 basic fears that can run your life and keep you from living your life to the fullest are:

• Fear of breaking away from the system of a perceived spiritual authority (I don’t want to be considered a bad person and go to hell)
• Fear of not having enough mental capability (I am not smart enough. I don’t have the credentials or degree)
• Fear of failure - vocational (I won’t succeed, I’ll fall short)
• Fear of losing it all financially (I’ll go broke or bankrupt. I won’t make enough money to survive)
• Fear of losing loved ones - family (my parents might disown me, my lover will leave me, my friends will hate me)
• Fear of social rejection (I am afraid of what everyone will think, I won’t fit in, people won’t want to be with me)
• Fear of not having physical capability (I’m not tall enough, strong enough, or good looking enough. I don’t have the energy for all this)

To dissolve any fear you have in any of the seven areas of life, write the fear down and ask yourself: What would be the benefit of the fear happening. Then ask yourself: What would be the drawback if the thing you fear didn’t happen? Go back to any past events where you have experienced the thing you fear and ask yourself how experiencing it then assisted you mentally, spiritually, financially, physically, vocationally, socially, with your family. For more information on dissolving fear and guilt read Dr John Demartini's Breakthrough Experience book or attend his 2 day seminar by the same name where you will be taught how to manage and dissolve any emotion holding you back.

You are here to live a magnificent life. Remember, you are never given a challenge you are not able to solve.
