Is Fate your genetic blueprint?And fate merely a habit pattern you attract into your
life without realizing it?
Overcoming fear is a "one quick step" process: Stop it! Fear is an emotional rush, limbic brain response to perceived dangerreal or not. Its of no benefit.
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror
which paralyzes needed efforts to convert
retreat into advance." F. D.Roosevelt
You cannot get rid of fear but you can create a NO habit response that turns your attention to solutions and inspiration. Repeat that and you open the door to your destiny and leave your old genetic fate behind.
Do you have to overcome fear?
Nope. Many motivate themselves with fear especially recently. The past eight years were guided by a paranoid government. Fear motivates has for centuries. Notice the mayhem? Death, wars, destruction? Pretty hard to miss isnt it? Now its also in the economic arena - worldwide. Had enough? You can stop it.
Lives dominated by fear mirror that paranoid pattern. Constantly putting out fires, fighting to survive. Attack and counter-attack. What fun in the sports arena. Not in life.
Anxiety is a thin stream of fear
trickling through the mind.
If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which
all other thoughts are drained.
Arthur Somers Roche
Leaders take Big Risks and the results are magnified in full public view.
Many leaders earning millions are driven by fear. Heres an interesting comment from a businessman. How do you explain the success of Grove, the Intel CEO, who wrote Only the Paranoid Survive? He apparently was scared all the time. I am not very different.
Many see life through the eyes of fear. Leaders are out in life in a Big Way. Trial and error is the path to success. But errors are amplified and affect many lives. As a leader's anxiety increases so does fear. Fear clouds thinking and makes a bad situation worse. Thats how fear makes itself real and paranoia is soon justified.
How successful is it to put out the fires you attract or ignite? Is this success? Yet the fear is not a conscious choice. Its there in most everyone. Fear keeps many from even attempting leadership - or seeking fame and fortune.
Fear is a poor guide to success.
How successful has fear guided our nation? Companies? Economy? You? Fear is limiting you in exactly the same ways.
Why not try something else? Pain, strife, stress, loss, war arent that much fun.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
Fear attracts itself (fear loss - and you lose; fear attack -- you attract it.) You find what you look for and your experience then validates the fear. Once caught up in that drama its difficult to see the alternative.
Know why? The alternative is overcoming fear: stopping it and refusing to get sucked into the limbic brain fight or flight response. Its a choice to stay mindful and find solutions instead. Next you need a plan or vision of where you want to be and you can train yourself to Focus on that instead.
Inspiration leading to solutions is a choice.
Everything you sense is vibration and vibration exerts a pull like a magnet. Like energy attracts. Inspirationwith your Focus on your Vision or goal -- leads to solutions. That vision feels good and so does pursuing it. Thats out of the range of the vibration of fear. From the higher frequencies of expecting things to work out they do. That's Law of Attraction in action.
The successful look for solutions and find them sometimes with spectacular results. Yet fear is woven into the fabric of life. Many success stories reflect the constant struggle with fearwins and lossesstruggle and gain. Thats the result of not overcoming fear, and instead dancing with it.
Overcoming Fear.
Fear surfaces for everyone - you cannot get rid of fear (its only a concept a collection of thoughts. Like the number 3, you can't get rid of "3.") You can opt out, see fear as the problem and solve it. You can transform it by adding more to the old idea, until it becomes a new idea thats a habit too. Hard to believe? Only because youre in the fear habit. Look beyond the familiar. You cannot solve your problems at the same level of fear that created them.
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles,
but most of them never happened. Mark Twain
Where does all the fear come from?
Your ancestors. Fear of failure and bondage are huge genetic patterns that interfere with creativity and success. Everyone's ancestors spent some time under the rule of a petty tyrant either as a wife (50% of all genetic codes) or slave or servant or military. All ancestors failed many times often with much pain and suffering. That fear is a part of your genetic blueprint. You can change it.
Not getting the success you want?
The only thing between where you are now and what you want -- is FEAR. Your own genetic patterns limit you nothing else but an old habit. Some call that fate. Now you know better.
What you have in your life is a reflection of your genetic blueprint or your fate. That pattern in your subconscious built your experiences. Over many years you have modified and expanded it. You can change your fate. Is it time to change it again.
If you do not have the success you want it is time for allowing more expansion The fear of change and of loss can change too.
Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate,
that the task which has been set before us
is not above our strength;
that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance.
As long as we have faith in our own cause
and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.
Winston Churchill
Living with fear is living in chaos soup.
If you dont overcome fear you continue to fight yourself, live in paranoia and stress and eventually the fear wins out and you get what you fear, along with whatever success you can hold onto. Ugh! Time to give that up. Life can be easy and fun and successful. You need only choose it, act on the choice and live your Vision. If youre annoyed that it sounds too simple to be true youre waking up.
Contraction and expansion is the natural creative process.
You have now outgrown your old habits of thought (and fears) and that is all that is limiting your expansion. How do you know? You want more. You feel limited, blocked and not much you try works well. Compared to where you want to be, you feel contracted, boxed in and restricted.
When you feel you are not getting what you want and dont know how to get it: <b>that feeling is what is keeping you stuck where you are.</b> Conflict is the clash between vibrating or signaling what you want and your fear about it. Those double feelings are also called stress.
Free yourself quickly. Simply see that you are only limiting yourself with unconscious fears. You are attracting the fate you fear when you allow fear to run rampant in your mind.
Get off of what isnt working.
Give up hard work and action until you create a more expanded self-image and feeling you cant push through a genetic fear and thats what is stopping your progress. You want what you want and you fear (unconscious) what will happen to you if you get it. Overcome Fear Fast (at end) can break you free of the bad habit.
Every individual acts and suffers
in accordance with his peculiar teleology,
which has all the inevitability of fate,
so long as he does not understand it.
Alfred Adler
How do you know if its fear stopping you?
Is fear active in your life? Do you feel uneasy about being out in the world in a bigger way? Being more expanding new experiences taking a chance -- new learning giving up what you thought you wantedlooking for a new way to be and live?
Does changing your life routines, patterns, habits (friends, work, food, lifestyle) feel uneasy? It should you have moved on and expanded yet cant see how to get where you want to be.
Your fear is clouding your vision and inter-fear-ing with your Inspiration.
You overcome fear when you see fear as the habit that is attracting to you the very thing you fear. It might be the fear I cant get what I really want or what I want is outside my safe zone. Thats a genetic fear its not about now, not true, and its not for the reasons you think.
How do you know? Listen to your self-talk. Fear masks as avoidance too. Thoughts such as, I dont care about money; If the Universe wants me to have.; I prefer behind the scenes; Im not seeking fame, or anythingjust a little more cash
Public opinion is a weak tyrant,
compared with our private opinion
- what a man thinks of himself,
that is which determines,
or rather indicates his fate
Henry David Thoreau
Changing a habit, changing your fate.
The fear of breaking free was formed over centuries of many deaths and much pain and suffering. Yet you can get over it by seeing it for what it is, and talking yourself into your now where you are safe, and those fears are no longer justified.
You cant get rid of anything but you can transform it into something else. Bridge from the fear to success in a big way and it will be yours. When you stop the fear - you need a "bridge of thoughts" to walk yourself to your Vision (goal) of what you want. You must have a "destination" to shift the feelings and your point of attraction from fear to solutions.
How do you know its working? You feel hopeful and begin to expect the new success you want. Your feelings (and point of attraction) shifted from doubt to expectation.
You always get what you expect. No exceptions. Use that fact to accurately gage where you are then you can get to feeling what you want.
Once you have removed or softened the barrier - your inspiration guides you to new opportunities. Test the new options compared to your Vision: If they match take action - if not, wait for the choices that feel good and match your Vision.
Make it easy and make it fun.
Spend time in nature clear your mind, open your heart, mind and body and ask questions. Seek solutions and follow your Inspiration. You can do this.

Top-level comments on this article: (9 total)Your advice is sound and works when internalized.As a young policeman, a superior officer told me it was OK to be afraid -- just don't show it. That led to many fearless reactions ever since.Thanks for your insights - Fear will always be available - it's only our "response" to it that needs to change - and you found a good way to do that! Thanks for your comments. Bye, Cheryl
Great article, Cheryl. So many times in my life I allowed fear to rule my decisions. But now that I have let God take over my life, I don't have that problem. Of course, I initally experience fear in the beginning of an ordeal, but then I re-evaluate the situation and commit my mind and soul to prayer. When the fear is gone, I have the strength and willingness to work through the problem. You are right, fear is not necessarily a bad thing---it is how we deal with it that sets the stage for resolution.Thanks for a great article that will probably help many.And welcome to searchwarp.SandraThanks for your insights - "Fear" is a big subject - and it's easy to get lost in it. There are many ways "out" of the maze and back into clarity - thanks for sharing your path.Happy New Year! Cheryl
Cheryl, VERY interesting article on fear. You mentioned some very interesting points. I especially the part about fear being a motivating factor.Thx a bunch
Thank you for sharing this information. I like how you included quotes by influencial men. Blessimgs to you!
Cheryl,This was an interesting article and you are right that one should not have to live in perpetual fear.I don't think, however, that George W spent the last 7 years living in fear or paranoia. If nothing else, President Bush spent the last 7 years keeping this country safe from another terrorist attack by means of resolve and determination. And, I pray that President Obama can keep us safe as well.They say that 95% of the things we worry about never come to fruition; and, they are right, however, the 5% that may come to fruition is the fact that there are pockets of people living throughout the world who are intent upon our destruction. Talking nice to those who would behead us publicly and on TV, is not going to solve the problem. While I certainly don't live in a constant state of fear, I have a healthy dose of respect and a full understanding that there are people who either want to kill us or change our ideology. Personally, I have no desire to wear a burka!Your quotes are interesting and uplifting but none of these writers ever had to face an enemy such as that which we face today because today's enemy does not think as we think. When Churchhill wrote those words, he knew where the enemy was and he could physically attack him: the footing was equal; the playing field was equal. Unfortunately, such is not the case today.Senseless fear is a waste of time and energy; fear that is justified, however, is not.Thanks for expressing another view point - I love a good debate - that's how we allfind the best solutions.I know for a fact that fear is not the solution - and I have appreciation for Pres. Obama's intellect and compassion - and ability to guide us out of warfare...and time will tell.Thanks for your comments. Good Fortune to you! Cheryl
My wife's name is Cheryl, so you can't be all that bad! I live in the outskirts of Portland, Oregon and have many opportunties to spend time in nature. It works wonders for you! Best to you and your family!Hmmm - not sure your wife would appreciate that! I hope that means you like her a lot.It's not a common name - say "hi" for me -I live in Nature and love it - it's an instant delight. Thanks for your comments.
Great article in fear. Being in combat for 3 tours in Vietnam, I know first hand about fear, then tried my best to defeat it, and much to my surprise, I was able to do so eventually. I was only 18 when I went over there, so just being a youth, I wasn't geared for what I had to do, or see over there. Your article is great, and right on the point, and I enjoyed it immensly.....your friend in pen, GaryThank you! I know it works as I use it myself - and finally came to the conclusion - it HAD TO GO - Your experience is far more insightful - as the stakes and pressure was so high for you - thanks for sharing - I'm keeping your comment - I'm sure it will encourage other Vets to overcome fear too. Can I quote you on my website? I can link back to an article here - or to your site - whatever. Thanks, CherylSure Cheryl, you can quote me on your site....it would be my honor. Thanks again for your wonderful articleHi - I posted your comment on my website. My article is from this main topic. Your comment is a little down from the top of the page (under the Tiger).I'm so grateful you wrote it - I added a section on "real fear" and it's so important to give people that are severely depressed hope that they can find a way out. If you'd like to change anything - add or ?? please contact me on my site (cheryl-contact) - and I'll make the changes. I'd love to add a photo - the one with your son is so warm - what do you think?I can't include URL's here - it's on my site at Overcome Fear (on the Navigation bar.)I added links back here - I love your poem - Thanks again - bye, Cheryl
