WHAT THOUGHT DO YOU ALLOW TO RUN YOUR LIFE??

FEAR - while fear is something we all think of and then experience in our lives-it is something that is non-existent unless we give our thoughts to it.  However, most people don't even realize that the many things that keep them stuck is fear.  So many people I know don't like the job they are in or what a promotion If I ask you why don't you put in for that job? Answer:  Aw, too many deadlines, hours are too long.  First thing I think of...........what are you afraid of?  Another great one is I hear people say God I want to go out with someone, get a date or I want to be married to have a home, kids a family.  I ask....why don't you date or get married?  Answer: too busy, want to pay off my bills, don't want to interrupt my time.  Um, again what are you afraid of???????

So think of something that you want whether it is a new career, promotion, spouse, date, boyfriend/girlfriend, new car, or even just a new outlook on life and ask yourself why don't I have this or this?  Watch the excuses flood your mind---  Take my first example Why don't you put in for that job..answer: too many deadlines.  Well let's take that further, question: well everything has deadlines so what is wrong with deadlines are you afraid of accomplishing something?  For me the answer was I'm not good enough and if I don't try I can't be denied and denial will do nothing but confirm I wasn't good enough.  So what do most people do?  They don't go for the job, the date, etc.  Because what we do is sit "safe" in our own reality, believing you're not good enough for the job, but when the job has come and gone, you can tell yourself you didn't get it because you didn't put it.  HA......let me tell you, you are smarter than that and your mind doesn't buy it.  Subconsciously, you will continue to tell yourself you're not good enough and ultimately that is the life you will live.

Stop living in fear, for it is all in your head and you create it so therefore you have the power to stop it.  I want to say thanks to my friends who pushed me to believe in myself and go after what I wanted.  Tomorrow starts the beginning of a "new" old for me and I couldn't be happier.  Remember you hold the "keys" to your own happiness!!
