The Worst Enemy "Fear"

Fear is truly the worst enemy that any individual can have working in their lives. Think about what you want most in your life at this moment. Why have you not taken steps towards that situation, that person, that change? Most of the time I hear as a therapist that the primary thing that holds individuals back in their lives is fear itself. I ask clients "If you were to take fear, doubt and uncertainty out of this equation how would you do things different at this moment in time?" Individuals who are asked this question smile and recognize that if they were able to eliminate fear then they would be able to step out faster in life and in lifes choices.

When you think about it fear is at the base of every negative aspect of our world. From racism, prejudice, stagnation, alienation, judgment, criticism, jealousy, mistrust, struggles to ask for help, share our feelings, our thoughts, and our dreams. If individuals could recognize that fear is to be looked in the face and defeated their lives would take off in a direction that they only dreamed of.

I know what I am talking about as I have not only led individuals to fight fear in their lives but as an individual myself have looked fear in the face many times. Once fear was defeated in my life as well as other lives I have seen positive changes that begin to take place so fast it appears supernatural.

My challenge to you is to think about dreams, thoughts, and desires that you contemplate but think are unachievable. Ask yourself if fear is the enemy that is holding you back from reaching for that thing you have only dreamed of. If fear is the enemy remember fear is only a thought. Thoughts can be changed and progress is in reach if you only reach out and take hold.

Fear may be the enemy but belief is the antidote. Change your thoughts and your life will change. It is time for you to step out of fear and move forward.
