The Obstacle of Fear
Another very significant obstacle to your personal growth is the idea of fear and you must learn to "cut it out". It's the cause of so much unhappiness and the root of so many failures if you stop to think about it.Fear is a habit of mind like like any other habit. It can get fastened into your being from karmic experiences of past lives or because of situations and experiences in this one. The good news is that you can free yourself from this paralyzing negative force with individual effort and perseverance.
Your thoughts have power (mind you) and the power of expectancy is a powerful magnet. Meaning what you put out there is what will return to you. If you are of strong, confident desire, you will surely attract those things, people, and circumstances best able to help you. It's a bit more than mere wishing when you want to attract something to you. If you desire things with hope, trust in your heart you are worthy of them, and with confidence and a calm nature, you will see your circumstance change for the better. Likewise, and with equal but opposite results, if you're fearful of something you will find that "thing" will come upon you. Can you see that if you're someone who is afraid you really in a way expect that feared thing? I will tell you that in the eyes of the Universal Law of Attraction it's as if you had actually wished for or desired the very negativity you were so desperately trying to avoid. The Law is in operation in both of the cases above but the principle is the same. The best way for you to obliterate fear is to substitute courage and strength in it's place. Fear is a wimp as is any other negative habit and positive forces are much stronger. They only need be applied.
I will tell you that in the eyes of the Universal Law of Attraction, it will see this thought process as if you had actually wished for or desired the negative thing you were so desperately trying to avoid. It's a huge waste of time to use all your effort to simply "deny" that it(fear) doesn't exist.. You know... to "bury" it like so many people. This is not the correct way to handle this or any other obstacle in your life. The best, surest, easiest, and quickest way is to assume the positive thought desired in it's place. By constantly dwelling upon the positive thought, you will manifest it into reality. Ok so instead of repeating, "I'm not afraid" (which is a negative statement and reinforces the wrong word); say to yourself boldly that, "I am full of Courage,"I'm Courageous." Don't use the word "fear" in your affirmation and use the positive phrasing always. You should say Courage, act Courage, and keep the thought of Courage before you at all times and you will gradually grow in your attainment and it will start to take root and manifest. It's all about the power of the mind and thought. It's importance is real and dare I say critical. It needs to take root in your mind so give it a chance and it will chip away at the negative fear and Courage will be its replacement. You must try. Prove it to yourself and give yourself a chance by making an effort. Try to realize that there is nothing to fear and that it and worry never helped anyone and never will. In fact, it paralyzes effort. Courage promotes it. Know that the "I Can and I Will" woman or man is a powerful magnet. Know that she attracts to herself exactly what is needed for her success. So be prepared when that poor sap tells you you're just "lucky" so you can tell that person that "luck" has nothing to do with it! (And it doesn't!) It's all a Mental Attitude and it's very, very real. Now remember the person who says "I Can't", or "I'm Afraid", brings the negative reaction or circumstances to her fruition. This is The Law and in the "Law of Thought" world "Like Attracts Like". In this case it's definitely the "Birds of a Feather" adage. Remember that people who fail often don't even know they are afraid. Think about it for a minute... some people are afraid of success, seem to be happy only when they're miserable, are afraid to truly be happy and don't even realize it's their own manifestation of "fear" that has brought or made their "lack" of success a reality. There's no mystery whatsoever about it and you only need look around you to realize the truth of what I have said to you. Have you ever known a successful person who did not have this "I Can and I Will" thought strongly embedded in them? No of course not. That person will ignore the "I Can't" people and just blow them off with no thought at all. That's why I've emphasized in other places on this site that the company you keep is crucial; just stay away from those nay sayers until your mind is trained and unfased by them. It takes time. Don't waste you life or thought-force, but use it to your advantage. Stop attracting failure, unhappiness, inharmony and sorrow into your life. Begin right now and start sending out bright, happy, positive thoughts. You will see and feel these new vibrations manifest and come back to you in your life and you will be aware of it. You'll feel better, see better, act better, and BE better when you put this "I Can and I Will" idea into practice. Fear-rhoughts must be conquered and is the first step if you wish to master the application of Thought Force. So long as it masters you, you simply won't be in the condition to make headway or progress and I must insist you start now! Get to work at once and get rid of this obstruction to your personal and spiritual growth. It's everything!
