WISDOM IS BLOCKED IN THE FACE OF FEAR

Whenever I ask my clients and program participants what keeps them from doing what they all seem to know they need to do, the answer is always, unequivocally, fear.

Fear – whether in the form of high emotion, anger or dramatic outpourings of panic or just pure drama – is the greatest enemy to your own wisdom.

Wisdom is blocked because of fear’s intensity.

Fear is the most insidious and powerfully negative toll the mind has.

Even worse, fear has the capacity to disguise itself as good judgment.

The bad news is that no matter how hard you try to conquer your fears, they will never go away completely.

So your work in this section is not to eliminate fear, but to dramatically improve your relationship with it. The first step is to realise that, however much your fear grips you, you have an equal amount of greatness in you.

Our fear is directly proportional to our greatness.

If you are a fearful person, you probably don’t have all that you want and do have a tendency to devote more time to your fear than your greatness.

Like hanging out with the ‘wrong crowd’, it is having a bad influence on you. To improve your relationship with fear you need to get better at knowing when you are experiencing a negative reaction to your circumstances that it’s due to fear and not necessarily reality.

Second, it takes knowing what your choices are and, third, getting a handle on how to disengage fear’s grip on your mind, so that your inner wisdom can flow.

Developing and gaining a healthy perspective is the most significant way to begin to awaken with your fear.

Let’s look at some ways to help you gain this perspective on fear so you can move freely towards your best life.
