Begin to Face Your Fears 16 August 2010

 “It is a pity that so many people’s lives are ruined by fear and apprehension of what might happen to them.

“They feel trapped in a hell of which they see no easy way out.  All hope that their respective situations will just go away leaving them to carry on in their own way.

“Until individuals begin to face their own fears and accept that they must start to make those necessary changes to sort these fears out, their situations only grow worse and life becomes intolerable for them.

“They then just bravely, but battered, still carry on hoping all will rectify itself in time, that they never need to act to make any form of change, so that their fears can be dealt with and finally go away.

“Most people just bury their heads too worried, “Let somebody else sort it out.  I really don’t want to know.”

“Finally, through neglect of taking personal responsibility the situation becoming intolerable, the individual is finally forced to take some kind of action.

“When that time arises, help then comes in, as the individual’s cries for help have been heard and so the cry is answered and the relief to that individual finally comes in.

“What is so astounding is that the actual facing of that fear, which now has been enforced, is no longer that bad anymore, simply because the pain of suffering has been far greater than the fear itself.

“An example being those who do not wish to see a doctor when they realise they have a growth.  They ignore it.  The fear gets gradually worse.

“Finally they have to see that doctor, only to be told it is nothing nasty and a simple, but pain free, operation is required to remove it and then the person can quite happily get on with their lives.

“The operation being minor in comparison to the enormity of the fear they have been experiencing.

“So in life begin to face your fears and, with the right help and advice, fear is removed and help is finally given.

“Peace to the individual is restored and life can carry on, often in a much better more worthwhile way.

“Start to face your fears.  The outcome is far better than the fear itself.
