Fear Babble

So why do I keep talking so much about fear? If you have read this blog, you will definitely notice that the subject of fear is THE subject that I am looking at closely.

The point is to expose fear as the number one controlling influence in our lives. If I sound like some paranoid schizophrenic, please tell me. But the fact is that if you look closely, you will see that we are literally living in a world ruled by the stuff and the reason to look closely at it is to break it's hold it has over us.

If you want to see a real change happen in your life, it takes looking at all the ways that fear controls you. Once you do this, you start to develop a healthy contempt for it and this is where it begins to break down. If you go back to an older post from Dec. 5th, 2011 called "Fear vs. Gratitude," you will see where I was talking about having fear-based desires vs. what you really want. This is where you can truly start to see what can happen in your life when fear begins to lose its grip and discover what actually does matter to you.

I also referenced a movie earlier on called, "Finding Joe." Joseph Campbell was talking about how people get tired of being a victim in their own life and decide to strive for something greater. Movie

This is what he called, "The Hero's Journey." This is where life can truly begin. Once out of the confinement of fear,  you discover what your life was really meant for. But I have to stress the fact that this isn't about bravery. Sure, it takes a little courage to look at your life honestly and stop fooling yourself. But, the fuel truly comes from the discovery of how fear controls everything in your life. Once you see it, you can catch it and start loosening the chains. Writing about it is the very best way. Simply start asking questions to yourself on paper. Why do I do the things that I do? Why do I care what people think of me? Why do I wake up in the morning? Why do I believe in God? Why don't I believe in God?

Whatever works for you. Everyone has their own questions and there isn't any right or wrong way to look at your life. And if my statements seem exaggerated or paranoid, tell me. I love to hear what you guys think about this stuff. Challenge me. Challenge yourself. This is about changing the world one person at a time and discovering how amazing life can be.
