FEAR NOT!
Fear is the primary emotion that prevents people from achieving the best things in life. I can't remember how many times I was plagued by fear: asking for the first kiss; trying out for the school play; asking the girlfriend to marry me; reporting for duty in the Air Force; applying for a job; etc., etc. Fear cannot be avoided--only overcome.
One of the main fears that keeps coming up over and over is the fear of failure. The way to overcome this fear is to ask yourself, "What is the worst that can happen?" Will you be killed? Will you be stripped naked? On the other hand, you just might be successful in whatever it is you fear doing.
The most dependable way to overcome fear is to ask your Creator for assistance in facing the fear. More about this "Creator" in my next post.
About Me
- Ramblinray32
- I'm more interested in others than in myself. I've had a full life and a varied life, including two marriages, two children of my own and three children shared with my second wife from her first marriage. Together we have 15 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren--and counting. We both share an interest in education and spent about three decades each as school teachers--she in primary grades and I in secondary school. Retirement is a time for traveling, reading, reflecting, and just plain enjoying life.
