Place Fear Upon a Chair, Right Next to Ego




"I have learned over the years that when one's mind
is made up, this diminishes fear;  knowing what 
must be done does away with fear."
Rosa Parks

The time spent between indecision and decision allows plenty of room for fear to flourish.  Once we can focus all of our energy on the best calculated plan, fear subsides.  Fear may begin as a small twinge of concern, but if allowed, fear can grow into a barricade keeping us from acting upon excellent options.  Unfortunately, we can grow accustomed to this underlying feeling of fear rather than eliminating it.  

Fear is similar to ego, as they both continue to gain ground without our awareness.  They can become like unruly children until we give them time out in a chair. On the surface, this might sound silly, but deliberately separating the self from fear or ego, transpires into positive attitude.

Distraction can be the element to ruin a perfect plan.  When we do not keep our eye upon the ball, we open the playing field to numerous possibilities rather than the one we were most hoping for.  It is important to acknowledge the presence of fear and then be driven forward in spite of it.
