Getting OVER Fear!

FACING THE ENEMIES WITHIN by Jim Rohn

 

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.
Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.


Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.

The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.
The second enemy we face is indecision.
The third enemy inside is doubt.

The fourth enemy within is worry.

 FEAR
F  - False
E  - Evidence
A - Appearing
R - Real
80% of what we worry about NEVER Happens
Courage - Working in the presence of fear
