Worry Not, Fear Not

We are infinitely more capable than we give ourselves credit for.

Yet, our eyes are often set on worry and fear.  It debilitates us, keeps us from moving forward.  It cripples us and robs us of our true destinies. 

Per T. Harv Eker in an interview with Success magazine editor, Darren Hardy, "Your mind is nothing more than a survival mechanism; its job is not to make you happy; its job is not to make you successful; its job is to keep you alive."

In short, we were designed to be cautious, fearful, and speculative.

The beauty is:  we do not need to remain that way!

We must simply remember that life is centered on the power of choice.

We have the choice to be better today, than we were yesterday.

When I worry, one of my favorite passages to refocus and gain strength is the “Do Not Worry” passage in the Bible (Matthew 6:25-34).  Here is an excerpt:

Therefore I tell you, do not
worry about your life, what you

will eat or drink; or about your

 body, what you will wear.  Is not life

more important than food, and the 

 body more important than clothes? 

 Look at the birds of the air; they 

 do not sow or reap or store away in 

 barns, and yet your heavenly Fa- 

ther feeds them.  Are you not 

 much more valuable than they? 

 Who of you by worrying can add 

 a single hour to his life?

                                                                                

So if we are not to worry, what are we to do?

Take action!

Action cures fear!  The opposite of fear is action!

As Andy Andrews stated in Mastering the Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success, “Yes, God feeds the birds, but he doesn’t throw the worms in their nests.”

Even the birds have to go out and take action. 

And what action should you take?

ANY action!  

Any action that moves you, "...confidently in the direction of your dreams," as Henry David Thoreau mused.

If you want to be an artist, then start painting!  

If you want to be a writer, start writing!

As Regina Brett proclaimed in Be the Miracle:  50 Lessons for Making the Impossible Possible, “…get busy on the possible.”

Do what you can do with what you have today... right NOW!

Go for it!   

Make today your day! 

To Your Success!
