“Fear exhausts life energy. It is one of the greatest enemies of dynamic will power. Fear causes the life force that ordinarily flows steadily through the nerves to be squeezed out, and the nerves themselves to become as though paralyzed. The vitality of the whole body is lowered. Fear doesn’t help you get away from the object of fear; it only weakens your will power. Fear causes the brain to send an inhibiting message to all bodily organs. It constricts the heart, checks the digestive functions, and causes many other physical disturbances…”
~ Paramahansa Yogananda, The Law of Success
What are you afraid of, my friend? Ask yourself that question. The sooner you uncover your fears, the sooner you can turn around your ailments and take back control of your life.
Why are you afraid? What is the worst that can happen? Is it really likely to happen?
What you need to know about that last question is this: It will be most likely to happen if you keep worrying about it, thinking about it, and giving it attention and credence.
Unless you’re actually in a life or death situation, unexplained fear is a sign that you’re about to step into unknown territory or, in other words, on the verge of a breakthrough. See it as verification that you’re on the right path and keep on going!
Now, there’s one last thing you should know about fear, it’s the polar opposite of faith (think hot and cold). Fear can only be present where your faith is weak.
So you get to choose, my friend. Will it be fear or faith?
