SubscribeFace the Fear
What causes a human being to self destruct? It has got to be down to our
mindset or how we look at things. Something the individual cannot cope
with due to their particular view of the world. We are attempting to
look at our worst fears here. The impacts of our worst fears have got to
be more imagined than real as they are different for each individual.
These deeply held beliefs can limit us by holding us back, cause us to
behave in certain ways or cause us to crash and burn.
How can we face these fears and therefore rise above them? Some form of courageous introspection would be required to shine a light into these areas and drag them out for critical analysis. We would need to understand the issue, our relationship to it and how this has developed in order to be more rational about it. One argument that supports some form of spiritual belief is that negative thoughts damage the holder of them far more than the individuals or systems that these thoughts are directed at. The bearers of such thoughts can literally self destruct. Consequently confronting negative or limiting beliefs is not just desirable but necessary both for survival and growth. In a very real sense it sets us free. However let us not underestimate the difficulty of this task or the rewards derived from carrying it out. We need to expose our vulnerable underbelly and trust that the world will support us for a while. When we have experienced this we will finally understand how irrational our fears really were.
The Nature of our Existence
A lot of human anxiety has to do with carryovers from the past or fears about the future. The ability to live in the now is sometimes not realized due to these concerns. We sometimes live with the illusion of control and when this illusion is shattered by small or dramatic changes we can urgently seek to regain it. Ultimately we don’t have the control that we thought we had. So how can we direct our lives? It is not what happens to us as we cannot control this, it is how we react to and deal with what happens to us. In a way this realization sets us free as unburdened with the past and unconcerned about the future we can do what feels right in the current moments. We can experience these moments to the fullest extent and take part in the miracle of creation itself.
