CHAPTER 15 HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

CHAPTER 15
HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR

What is fear anyway?  Wikipedia defines fear as "Fear is an emotion induced by a threat perceived by living entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behaviour, such as running away, hiding or freezing from traumatic events. Fear may occur in response to a specific stimulus happening in the present, or to a future situation, which is perceived as risk to health or life, status, power, security, or in the case of humans, wealth or anything held valuable. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis."

I can't help but notice that the word "perceived" is used twice and the word "perception" once, in this definition.

In his book The Motivation Manifesto, Brendon Burchard says "Fear rips us from freedom, it is the DESTROYER OF greatness."

He later explains what The Cost Of Fear is as follows "To tame fear we must first recognize the horrid effects on our lives.  What comes of us when we are motivated by fear?  We lose our emotional centre and mental character.  Our thoughts become frazzled and riddled with anxiety.  All conscious thinking, intelligence and behaviour narrow to self-protection, limiting our capabilities to be open and strong.  Our natural tendencies for genuine self-expression are paused, and our ability to act to fulfil our dreams is paralyzed.  When we allow fear as a constant in our lives, our ambitions and behaviours become small and constrained.  We become timid and stressed.  We withdraw.  We become cowards.  Life's energy entropies -- all things trapped in the cage of fear smother and die quickly."

Fear is but an excuse to not take action.  It is the easy way out of a daunting situation.  I fear rejection, therefore I will not call my ebook downloads.

It takes courage and action to overcome fear.  When we realize that rejection will not physically harm us and that, unless we allow it, it will not harm us emotionaly.  Overcoming fear takes constant action, which builds confidence.

Conficence is the antidote for fear.  The more you do something that you feared, the less you will fear it.

Overcoming fear will give you freedom!

CHAPTER 14 THE SIXTH SENSE THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM

CHAPTER 14
THE SIXTH SENSE
THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches

Michael reminds us constantly to live in the "now", the past is dead and the future is the future.  We can't change the past and the future will happen by what we do NOW!

I was watching a short video on meditation where the author was trying to define meditation.  Here is the way it was explained and  I thought this was very appropriate to explaining what living in the "now" is.

When a musician plays music, the object is not to get to the end of the piece as quickly as possible because if it was then the musicians who play the fastest would be the best.  No, the point of playing music is to savour every note, play every note as if it were the only note you have to play.

When you dance, the object of dancing is not to reach the end but to enjoy every step and to want for the dance to never end.

That is what living in the "now" means, savour every moment!

CHAPTER 12 THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND THE CONNECTING LINK

CHAPTER 12
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
THE CONNECTING LINK

The Eleventh Step toward Riches

Hill tells us that "THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WORKS DAY AND NIGHT. 

Through a method of procedure, unknown to man, the subconscious mind 
draws upon the forces of Infinite Intelligence for the power with which it 
voluntarily transmutes one’s desires into their physical equivalent, making 
use, always of the most practical media by which this end may be 
accomplished."

What does this tell us?  Hill is telling us that the subconscious mind is a robot that never stops working.  What is most 
amazing is that it is our slave and we program it whether we are aware of it or not.  Hill also tells us "You cannot 
entirely control your subconscious mind, but you can voluntarily hand over to it any plan, desire, or purpose which you 
wish transformed into concrete form."

What happens is that your subconscious mind will do its best to give you what you think about the most.  If that is 
negativity, then that is what you get.  That is why our self talk is so important.  You have to tell your subconscious 
mind what you want, over and over and oever again.  Say your self talk over and over and over agian until it becomes such 
a habit that you will be saying it without even thinking about it.
