How To Eliminate The Fears That Control Our Lives

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Max Ehrmann

I’ve always been afraid of something, but I never knew what it was.

There was always a feeling of worry and lack.

It’s been controlling my life for as long as I can remember, but I don’t know what it is.

Everything is dark on the horizon, when I look for the sun all I see are clouds.

This fear not only controls my life but has kept me stuck where I am.

If I want to improve my life in a meaningful way, I need to address this fear.

I had to get to the bottom of it, I started with the statement: I’m afraid I’ll go broke.

From there I dug down to find the root of this fear and hopefully vanquish it.

This lead me to realize something that would change my view forever.

My fear of not having enough comes from my fear of not being enough.

I have struggled with self-esteem and self-confidence my whole life.

From a young age, I remember thinking other people are better than me, I could never do what they do.

My self-deprecation, and idolizing other people led me to feel inferior.

When I asked myself where this fear comes from I realized I’m afraid of the unknown.

No one knows what the future will bring. If you don’t believe in yourself and your abilities, that’s scary.

My feelings of insecurity make me question if I have what it takes to be successful.

Since I don’t know what the future holds I feel like I need to hold on to what I have.

This limiting, scarcity mindset is what has caused me to be frugal and cheap and constantly in fear.

When we think about our fears and figure out where they come from, we can deal with them.

For me, I still struggle with worry and lack, when I do, I remind myself that everyone is here for a reason.

We all have talents and abilities to share, that’s why we’re here.

Overcoming our flaws and shortcomings is how we grow as people.

When I worry about running out or not having enough I think about nature.

Nature has been doing its thing for millions of years. The balance that exists in nature allows it to continue forever.

There’s an abundant supply.

Although there are times of death and decay, it is always followed by new growth.

The old has to die for the new to live.

We are the same way, everything we need is already available.

Abundance is everywhere, that’s the nature of life, everything is unfolding as it should.

We all have a right to be here and share in the abundance of life.

This isn’t the end and I have a lot of work to do, but I took the first step.

Questioning our thoughts and beliefs can lead to so much happiness and fulfillment because we are removing the invisible blocks we put in front of ourselves.
