Someone once wrote, quote, Two natures beat within my breast.The one is foul, the other blessed.The one I love, the other hate.But the one I feed will dominate, end quote. The thing is, both of these emotions will always be present in you.
The emotion you continually feed is the one that will dominate your life.You can't expect fear simply to disappear.If you continually focus on your fears, entertain them, and give in to them, they will increase.
The way to ultimately overcome them is to starve them.Don't give your fears any of your time or energy.Don't feed them with gossip or negative news shows or frightening movies.Focus on your faith and feed it.
The more energy you give it, the stronger it becomes.And any time you feel afraid of doing something but go ahead and do it anyway, you will be reprogramming your attitude.
When you feel fear, it will mean go instead of stop and fight harder instead of give up. What emotion are you feeding?Choose to feed your faith and your courage.
